It’s not third grade anymore, and despite becoming powerful, all-knowing adults, we deal with rejection more than ever. Your proposal is denied. Your awesome, witty Tweet gets completely ignored.
Your smile at an attractive woman is unreturned. From the 1 billion swipes on Tinder each day, only 12 million matches are made. That right there is a lot of rejection.
Rejection sucks. In fact, rejection triggers the same part of the brain as physical pain does. Rejection hurts – as in, Tylenol literally helps reduce the emotional pain of rejection.
Sometimes rejection weighs a little more heavily than in other instances. At your lowest point, the most brutal rejection, how do you pick yourself up?
