It does not happen only to you… it happens to everyone. At a certain point in your life, you will get rejected. Rejection can come from a friend, school mate, girl friend, boy friend or colleagues. There is no silver bullet to handle rejection but fortunately enough there is one way how to handle it and make it less painful. 

It feels bad when someone slams a door in your face. But instead of concentrating on how bad it feels when someone rejects you think of new possibilities, new doors that will open soon. The new opportunities might be better than what you have aimed before. Having such a mindset helps you handle rejection and keep on going in life.

People who refuse to adopt such a mindset get stuck and keep on trying to achieve what in the beginning they thought was achievable. Such behavior leads to further rejection hence making the person more upset. Don’t waste time, attention and effort on people who do not show interest in you. Instead focus on giving your attention to others who reciprocate it.
