Introduction
Rejection is a part of life. All of us have experienced it in some form or the other. While we hope that there will be no instances of rejection in our lives, we nevertheless understand that it’s an inevitability. What do we need to do to ensure that we can deal with rejection better? There are many ways to tackle this issue, and I’ll be sharing the techniques that I’ve learned and use when dealing with rejection. In fact, I found one particular magic line which has helped me accept 90% of all rejections!
How to deal with rejection
Rejection is something that we all must cope with and learn to deal with it. In this article you will find ways to get over your fear of rejection, so you can get on with your life and do the things that you really want to do.
The best way to deal with rejection is to stop looking at it as something negative and start looking at it as a positive.
Rejection is an everyday thing, such as when you ask someone out on a date and they reject you. When this happens, there are many ways that you can look at this situation and see the positive side of it. For example, if someone rejects your offer for a date, then this means that there are plenty of other people out there for you to ask out.
Or another way to look at rejection is that when someone rejects your offer for a date, then this means that they were not meant for you and they were not the right person for you anyway. When you think positively about rejection, then it makes dealing with rejection so much easier.
One more method for managing dismissal is simply to acknowledge it as a component of life and not let yourself harp on its negative parts.
Tips for dealing with rejection
Rejection is never easy. It can sting when it happens at work, in love or even when you're dealing with a business. But rejection can also be a great thing in some situations.
Trying to sell a product or service? Go ahead and try to get some rejections under your belt first. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it's best to find out as soon as possible that your idea isn't going to fly before you spend a lot of time and money on it.
In fact, the first step towards success is learning how to embrace rejection! Here are a few ways to manage dismissal:
Don't take it personally. When you're trying something new, there's no way for you to know whether or not the person you're making an offer to will accept right away. It doesn't hurt to be polite, but don't stress out over the outcome of your offer. If they say no, chances are they've got their own good reason for doing so.*
Ask questions. Rejection could open up some great opportunities for discussion! You might want to ask someone why they didn't want whatever it is you offered to sell them. Maybe if they knew more about what you were selling, they would feel differently about it.
Getting creative with rejection
When I was in college, I would look around at my classmates, and I would see that a lot of them didn't have the same kind of confidence about their creative pursuits that I did. They were afraid to do some things, or they said it wasn't a good idea, or worse — they never even tried. Certainly, there were a few people who shared the same sort of vision for what they wanted to do.
Thing is, all of these other people had the same opportunities as me. They were in art school, which meant they had access to the same teachers and resources that I did. What's more, we had the same ability to create — no one could take that away from us. It wasn't our materials or our skill level that determined if we would succeed or fail. It was our own creativity and determination.
Everyone has the potential to be creative. What matters is us having the right mindset and attitude towards trying new things. This is how you are getting creative with rejection: by refusing to listen when someone says "no." The more you do this, the more you'll learn from your mistakes and successes; you'll find out what works for you and what doesn't work for you. At the point when you have a thought for something imaginative.
Conclusion
Rejection comes in many forms. It can be direct and outright, or indirect and cloaked in fancy prose. Regardless of how you feel when you’re on the receiving end, there is no concrete rule book for dealing with it. Everybody handles things differently, but that doesn’t mean that you should stop trying. Instead, it means that you should take responsibility in your own hands and try to make the necessary changes to ensure that you don’t play a passive role with rejection.
The more help you are willing to accept from good people (and bad), the better off you will be in the long run, both professionally and personally. Living with rejection is hard, but the sooner you deal with the problem head-on, the sooner you can build up a new protective layer around yourself.
