I’ve noticed that even as I’ve gotten older, rejection still hits a little sometimes even the smallest kind. It’s not like I spiral or take it personally the way I might have when I was younger. I handle it pretty well overall. But still… it can sting for a moment.

And yeah, I know making a post about this might make it seem like I’m not handling it well but trust me, I am. I’m just curious about other people’s experiences and how you all deal with it.

Is it just human nature to want to be accepted, or is there something deeper going on psychologically? Does it ever fully go away, or do we just get better at managing it?

Would love to hear you all thoughts.
