How to Deal With Rejection
Whether it’s getting picked last to play dodgeball in highschool, getting rejected by your crush, or not getting invited to a social event, we can all agree that rejection sucks.. and it can contribute to depressed moods, self isolation, and low self esteem. ..
The more we get rejected over the years, we develop defense mechanisms on how to deal with it, so that the pain doesn’t sting as hard.
Unfortunately, some of us have a harder time dealing with rejection than others. Have you guys ever heard of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, also known as RSD?

    Hi, I was bullied in elementary school. They would pull my hair, kick me, bite me, and even bang me against a wall. It has been 7 years now and I still have nightmares from it. Please let your kids know if they are ever bullied to please tell someone! Bullying can happen at any age and so can depression as well as suicide. Make sure your kids or friends are safe. :)

    I got bullied in middle school by this guy. I was 13 and in 7th grade at the time. The long-lasting effect I have is that I am almost paranoid and thinking that people are laughing at me, staring at me, or whispering about me. This happens everywhere I go, expect for home. My bully would constantly laugh at me and he would make me the butt of his jokes. He talked me down and he even got physical sometimes. He never hit me but he would do things to make feel helpless, intimidated, or uncomfortable. Invading my personal space, throwing my belongings, taunting me, messing with my belongings, laughing at me, always paying close attention to me, it was so awful. Based upon his actions it seemed like he wanted to have control over me, which he got. The long-lasting effect is that I assume others perceive me as a "little defenseless girl." I am 19 years old and I feel that way. Random comments: I have developed unhealthy coping mechanisms that are still effecting me today. I could go on and talk about it but I won't. I have always hated going to school from middle school through college. Unfortunately, college feels the same way. Some people in my life don't seem to realize the long-lasting effect that bullying has. I would love to improve and stop thinking the way I do. It almost feels like I am being bullied again but I know logically that is not true.

    I hear people say things like “God is the answer” or therapy or intervention … If that works for you then go with it but after losing my ex wife to alcoholism the thing that stoped me cold was fear of death. Seeing how it totally destroyed her mind and body was something no one would wish on their worst enemy. Liver cirrhosis and total organ failure at 62. Once alcohol has done it’s damage to your body there are no doctors, drugs or miracles that can fix it and the death isn’t pleasant or painless.. Scared straight

    I'm the youngest of 9 children. My second oldest brother was bullying me, who is 8 years older than me, was bullying me since the day I started thinking. Almost everybody that hears I'm the youngest, they say: "Oh, so you're the "Nesthäkchen" (german for little nest, the baby) of the family. You must have had it so well." Like what the actual fck does anybody know of anybody just assuming stuff that was in fact the opposite. The pecking order and the survival of the fittest is what was ruling in the family, not the parents. The eldest siblings (except the oldest one, he didnt have to do anything with any family member) were taking control, especially the 2nd oldest brother. He used to drill especially number 8 and 9, me. He intended to train us to become strong enough. My fellow sufferer was stronger, sportier, overall better at anything considered boyly/male but he was my best friend although Number 2 tried to pit each other against each other which was unfortunately working sometimes and that was enough for me to be very disappointed by him and he was shocked that I was hitting too hard when in forced sparring training (I was just in constant survival mode, I wanted to show nr. 2 that I'm not weak). I was mocked for being a weak pussy. I was denied "too much" affectionate contact with my mother from an early age. Especially I would not be allowed to be too close with her. I couldnt hold her hand myself because I felt shame for that. Other siblings who didnt pick on me and got along somewhat fine were still backing number 2 and saying I should try to understand his hurts. They were bascially supporting his abuse against me, some were saying he shouldnt do that but they were agreeing that I should speak up for myself (I remember it starting at age 4 but some memories reach to age 3(??!) and it went on til my mid teen years). Oh and they kind of agreed that my mom should not interfere too much as I should learn to be independent. I was disappointed by many of them and felt like stabbed in the back and left alone with the monster whom I should try to understand. Which I did, I felt torn between the lingering anger, frustration and guilt for having bad feelings towards him - what the fck - of course would I not like him. The gaslighting by the other siblings just made me hate him more and also feel betrayed by them. When I got into school I was already destroyed, devastated, but I didnt know any other by that time. Being overly shy and insecure, I naturally got picked on. I was being laughed at and shunned. I was excluded from games but I was happy when I was left alone. The fairy dream world bubble I used to escape into in earlier childhood years was burst when too much came together and I remember that feeling of the deep hate, like a crimson red fire waking up and to this day it has never left me often being hidden but its always there and very persistent and patient so it doesnt die out. Bullying went on in high school. At some point it stopped then started again later until I was fortunately left alone and ignored which was way better than a time when someone and his pals "befriended" me only to try to control me. I said fuck you, I lived long enough as an outsider I dont care about freindship that much. I would rather just live in peace alone. I am able to make people believe I can function normally now and even made some "friends" (I dont use that word actually, I don't want to feel like a need that thing). Deep down I am already ready to be left alone again. I get along well with ppl now but I cant seem to really make a real connection.

My soulmate made the decision to walk away from me, and even though I've done everything in my power to get him back, I can't help but feel disappointed because I can't see my life with anyone else. I want to say that I've tried everything to stop thinking about him, but I simply can't. I miss him so much and I don't know why I'm saying this here.

      I learnt the hard way that saying goodbye to someone you love is difficult when a 12-year relationship ends. But I was unable to let him go, so I made every effort to get him back. I eventually sought aid from a spiritual counsellor, and he was able to assist me in getting him back.

    First and foremost, I am presently not in a relationship. However, I have and presently experience gaslighting from my overpaid provider$. This always occurs when mentioning/reporting a situation that would result in accountability. When it does occur, it is blatantly obvious. The skill set they possess leads one to think they would be adept. This never is the case. Symptoms and stupidity are not one and the same.

Ever since I started serving God I started healing and letting go of the past and forgiving the people who made me feel bad, God has changed my life and he keeps changing me for the better. So i know its very difficult but you have to move on because hate and anger is going to eat you away as long as you let it. So please stop torturing yourself and forgive and move on.

    I have a constant situation with a friend and I’m not sure if it is gaslighting. Basically I would be given the silent treatment & treated unfairly & if I tried to speak about this my friend would shut me down by saying “oh it doesn’t matter” but then she experienced what I experienced but on a much smaller scale, she talked about it all the time and still does. Her cousin was homesick when she moved abroad & she talked about her with empathy all the time but years later my niece was struggling with homesickness when moving to the other side of the world and my friend was like “ oh their is fear of her, she is living in a country with a great lifestyle” and of if I was ever asked how my niece was doing & I tried to answer she would shut me down. They are just 2 examples but it’s like if something is going on with me it’s not important unless it is happening to her or it is affecting her but she will keep going and going until she has the last word. And it has to be what her perspective of the situation is what matters no one else’s. I find her completely draining
