Rejection
Rejection is difficult for most people. This post will teach you how to look at rejection in ways that will lose its immense power over you.
Let’s understand rejection
There was this experiment that sought to trick the volunteer and reveal how profoundly rejection can impact a person. As many psychological experiments are conducted regularly, this one stands out as an example of what humans can endure emotionally when faced with rejection.
To test the boundaries of human behavior, volunteers were invited to an office with no prior knowledge of what was to take place. Upon arrival, participants were instructed to wait in a designated room and await their turn – joining others who had already been called in for this mysterious experiment.
As the volunteers waited, they noticed the other two people tossing a ball between them. After some time had passed, they extended an invitation and handed the ball to the volunteer – who gladly began participating in their game. Sadly though, after just a few minutes of playing together as one unit – excluding became more common than including; leaving only two players during certain spurts of time; thus excluding this newbie from joining in anymore that day.
At a certain moment, someone emerges from the back and summons the volunteer to enter.
The volunteer’s feelings in the waiting room are carefully probed and then compared to their physiological responses. It is almost impossible not to be astonished by the results of this comparison.
Rejection is a physical as well as mental torment for volunteers, inflicting hurt on them both emotionally and physically.
They explain to the volunteer that the two people were actually part of an experiment and not genuinely rejecting them – yet, no matter what they say, their feelings of rejection remained.
In an attempt to ease their sorrow, they are informed that the two people were bigoted and had committed deplorable actions in their lifetime. However, this does nothing to reduce their grief.
It’s natural to experience hurt feelings in the face of rejection.
While this is typical and expected, you don’t have to settle for such a result.

Rejection undeniably carries a lot of weight. Fortunately, we can learn to become immune and the key is practice. With enough dedication, you can perfect the art of not being affected by rejection – no matter how hard it may seem in the beginning.
