     [ "rejection" ]

    1: Is trying hard to be accepted by people who think they are better than you. They string you along because they enjoy your attention. They want to be noticed just for their looks and they think everyone wants to be with them. You exhaust yourself trying to impress them. You take small rejections from them for awhile because you still want to dream about them. But eventually you will learn you are a worthless piece of shit around them and they are fake anyway. Finally after rejection hits you square in the face finally you want to avoid this person at all costs. You go through crying spells and depression. Then you start to accept how beautiful you are and go back to living your life in a way that only makes you happy.

      * e.g.,  ... I felt the literal pain of rejection right over my heart when I seen my crush, Will leaving me out of our company group picture. He didn't miss a beat because I am nothing to him. 

     [ "rejection" ]

     [ "rejection" ]

    1: Rejection is an avoidable part of life. Nevertheless, rejection is a very painful experience. But life would be very boring without it. A person that has never experienced rejection is a sheltered little fuck with a perfect life; someone who has never had to work hard for anything. A person that is a stranger to struggle, pain and rejection is not worthy of respect. Even those people with "perfect" lives that never experience rejection are miserable. Look at any young rich celebrity; they're all strung out on all types of substances. Rejection is an experience that makes us all stronger. The world is a hard and cold place. Not getting the girl or guy of your desires or not getting to live the life you want will only give you the inspiration to try harder and improve yourself as a person.

      * e.g.,  ... I despise rejection and can't figure out what my curse is. 

     [ "rejection" ]

    1: The only way to fix this - is ice - cream. This usually happens when someone asks someone else if they like them or want to date them.

     [ "Rejected" ]
