[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was rejected from early admission (decades ago) I took it so hard, it surprised everyone. It seemed irrational. A few years later when I was broken up with, I also took it similarly hard. Like I was quietly sobbing throughout my college class lectures. I did lead a charmed life and I guess I was totally unprepared for rejection. I have a lot of anxiety too. Not sure how to fix that for my kids. [/quote] I didn't lead a charmed life but I am like this. Some people are just sensitive to rejection no matter how many times they experience it. Through therapy I've learned that it's related to getting rejected by my dad (like, as a person) as a child. I have worked in a field where regular rejection is just how it works and after suffering for years and waiting to "toughen up" I realized that I just need to be in more nurturing environments. It's just who I am and what I need. It's okay.[/quote]
