REJECTION


Have you ever faced rejection in life? Be that job, marriage proposal, or an admission interview? I have faced one, it's so weird that people nowadays only talk about succeeding in life, all about the bling but how come no one talks about rejection or failures anymore? Why have we only focused on achieving or becoming successful why can't we just be okay with rejections or failures for once? Why are people so eager to run fast, why do they wanna achieve everything in just a small time span? Why can't we give room for failure to enter in? Why can't we just sit back for once and accept rejection? WHY? Because we are scared! we are terrified of being rejected, we cant handle failures because society, peer pressure won't let us. 


We have our minds so occupied in the boundary of "WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK". What will people think if I tell them I didn't get the job I wanted I got rejected? What would people think if I tell them that the marriage proposal turned me down? What would people think if I tell them the university I wanted to get in I got failed in it. We literally can't handle rejections or failures that result in depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders and God knows what more! 



You see it's not easy to deal with rejections or failures but we give our best shot to deal with them but this society and peer pressure doesn’t make things easier for us does it? The constant thought of being rejected just stops us more from trying new things, it's just a matter of time that people actually forget about our failures and rejection but the impact mainly stays on us.

Ask yourselves that how many of you got rejected or got failed in something and weren't afraid to share? When I say depression anxieties are real because I've been through one and wasn't being able to cope up with it that easily what made it actually harder was not being able to share or talk about it, keeping it all in me made things way harder for me. We, humans, have three types of needs, emotional needs, physical needs, and spiritual needs and all these three needs are somehow interlinked to each other so if one of them is missing it automatically affects the other one. Being rejected, not being wanted feeling sad somehow in any aspect is an emotional need when you’re feeling like that you might not want to eat hence physical needs get affected, your  belief in God gets shaken you start doubting your beliefs therefore your spiritual needs get affected.


We for once need to accept that being rejected is okay, that failing something is okay, being depressed is okay feeling low is okay. Not every time we need to talk about being successful or achieving something, sometimes we should talk about failures and rejection too because a lot of people face this. And don't get into peer pressure or family pressure for that matter, if you fall and you don't see anyone's hand to help you out it's okay, lift up yourself, take your time feel whatever you want to, but in the end be the only one to help yourself.
