How to use "Rejection" in context?
When someone rejects us, it feels like a rejection of ourselves. For some of us, it feels like the world is against us. That no one will ever want us. We feel like our self- worth is taken away. And it's hard to bounce back from that. We start to feel like all the other people in the world are perfect, and we're not. We might feel like we're not good enough. We might start to doubt ourselves. It can be really hard to take the rejection. But it's also important to remember that we're not the only ones who feel this way. And it's not the end of the world.
