Dealing With Rejection

Being rejected can cause a person to feel sad, ashamed and lower their self-esteem.

When you think of rejection, the most common thinking is within a relationship. However, Rejection can also result from life events not involving relationships, such as being turned down for a desired position at work or receiving a rejection letter from a college.

What affect can rejection have on a person?

  1. loneliness

  2. Social anxiety

  3. abuse

  4. Stress/ anxiety
