356 Entries for “rejection”

  1. We are all afraid of rejection so we build walls to keep people out, but in reality we want to give them our very best. Rejection shouldn’t stop us from putting ourselves out there.

  2. As a fetus I was always worried my mother would reject me. Later in life I wished she did.

  3. Sometimes it’s hard being rejected. I don’t exactly know why though. It’s like when someone you used to like starts liking someone else. Why does it bother you when you know you don’t like them? I don’t know. I’m supposed to write this in a minute and that’s the first thing I thought of.

  4. It’s the feeling in the pit of your stomach. The weight of your chest. No wonder they call it a broken heart. How does an emotion have physical pain? What is that? Do you think maybe this feeling could really kill you? Do you think you might want it to?

  5. The shaman raised his ax
    The vestal one had to die
    Clearly a bountiful harvest was the only way to save the day
    But the gods rejected the sacrifice by sending lightening instead of rain.

  7. one word means just one thing and that thing can only made one word , that one word cant not be explain in many ways since its just one word. therefore details are needed to describe that one word. One word can be determined in one simple one.

  8. Rejection hurts.
    I’ve never been rejected.
    Hell, I’ve never even dated anyone.
    Still, rejection hurts.
    I’ve seen other people get rejected,
    Deal with break-ups and make-ups,
    fake-ups and shake-ups.
    And it hurts.
    Not just them, all of us.
    I hurt when I see people rejected.
    Or when people have to be the rejecters.

  9. I see one word at the top of the box. But now that one word is rejection. After sometime, there could be another word. I don’t know what else to write but I think one word leads to another word which leads to paragraphs which is what I have written now.

  10. i prefer to reject people before they can reject me. so, if you are afraid of rejection, stay the fuck away from my ass. see how i did that? you just got rejected before you could even get rejected; and i remain secure that you will not be rejecting me any time soon.

  11. Rejection is very bad. I have not had a lot of rejection in my life, but when it has hapened it has been the worst thing in the world. Many times though rejection has caused me to reassess my life, and I have become a much more mature person thanks to me being rejected. Thanks al

  12. I rejected a guy a month ago. I was scared and too uncomfortable to be with him even though I think he was the one that I’ve been asking for. I’m not regretting it…at least that’s what I’m trying to tell myself.

  13. Leave me alone you left me alone. Here I was there she is there you are. Viciously we reject refuse to love abandon. Put ourselves before others. Never think of how our actions make others feel we suck the life out of each other and suddenly

    we
    cant
    love
    ourselves
    either.
    Can we?

  14. I have never been rejected by a lover. I have been rejected by family. Is that worse? Not rejected face-to-face but emotionally rejected. Rejected from respect. Rejected.

  15. He turned away. He let me go. Why? I tried so hard to show him I trusted him. I would have done anything for him, changed anything he asked me to… but he didn’t want that. He didn’t want any of it. He left me worthless.

  16. rejection is when you are left behind. Weather by a loved one, a friend, a lover, whatever. it is the feeling of invisibility. the being ignored by everyone. it is a cold, dark place to be. noone wants to be rejected. no one should be rejected. Love. God loves. He never rejects. love.

  17. I like to reject people for small things even though we are a good match, because I am in love with someone who is unattainable. That’s how I roll.

  18. i love rejection, i love the lack of humanity it fills you with and the aching and the PAIN. why? why why why? I wanted another perspective, I wanted to feel the rejection of a final wish. I know it isn’t human, but rejection… that word fills with a helpless and a hopeless and you collapse.

  19. I felt the sinking of silence settle in the pit of my stomach. They were gone, they were gone forevermore, and here was I left to rot in the dungeon of my reality. The real world, whatever it was, had gone long ago, and here I was left to rot, as always. They left me.

  20. It’s nice to sit in the front row.
    You get called on.
    And ever answer you give, is wrong.
    Rejected.
    In favor of the girl who sits two seats behind you, because she always has the right answer.
    The benefit of sleeping with the teacher.
    And having a pretty face.
    Maybe a nice body.
    But not an intelligent mind.
    It’s just that the prof seems to be a little too distracted by her…
    Features, say.
    To notice that what she actually says
    makes
    no
    fucking
    sense.
    I reject your logic, and substitute my own.

  21. okay so all my life ive dealt with rejection. some by friends, mostly by girls… it hurts. i cry. but as hard as it hits me and as bad as it hurts… i get over it, and life moves on. theres life after rejection and im here to prove it. im James sullivan, and im a mormon. just kidding, but you get the refrence right? all those silly mormon conmmercials? i mean honestly what kind of religion needs a commercial to get people to com to them? i think thats there scars from rejection.

  22. Rejection to me is hard. It is hard to face and live with, yet it is common. I don’t like to get rejected by jobs I look for, girls I like, or things that I really want to buy.

  23. So I asked and you said no. I’ve been trying to live with the fact that you did not accept me. That I wasn’t quiet enough, tame enough for you. That I couldn’t be the wife you needed, or wanted, me to be. I am too loud, too opinionated, too — full. You could not deal with all the thoughts going through my head, and this is why I was imperfect in your eyes.

  24. A person with low aspects of life cannot bear any kind of rejection which leads him more towards failure. Every man should take rejection happily in order to learn more out of it.

  25. As we crossed the bridge and walked towards the river it became clear we had left the busy part of town. Late in the evening our shadows cast foreboding silhouettes against the dirt path. I kept a steady pace, but struggled to keep up with the group. I would never reach our destination. Instead, I felt the full force of their rejection. The rejection of this country, this culture, these people, the love laws, the river. When they reached the history house, broken and weathered with age, I would long be gone.

  26. I lie here on my loveseat, my makeshift bed. he is on the full size couch. this is how we spend our evenings, he’s asleep and I bide my time with my old friend insomnia. his rejection is no great drama, more like an indifferent glance before rolling over and snoring the night away. is this the life I have chosen?

  27. lately I’ve been rejected…and that sucks…but he’s a douche apparhently…so…its whatever. it happens. im over it I guess. still sad. but it will get better. right? right. *sigh* i’m so dissappointed in you. Just…yeah….you…

  28. I don’t know where to start I guess I feel rejected now in and out of his life and this is where I put myself rejected rejected like a bullet without a sinner. Where are you going, when you don’t have a home? I can’t stop no I can’t stop running.

  29. Rejection is something that happens to everyone. Whether you’re fat, black, chinese, undead, ugly, hot, not, anything and everything in between. You will face it and the only way to beat it is the express exit. BANG………..

  30. Rejection is one of my biggest fears. Especially from the ones closest to me… I don’t know why, but it terrifies to me to this day for my own father to tell me no. I guess rejection is just really scary.

  31. He didn’t think it could happen to him. All his life he was the star, the big shot. And so when he went over to her and sat down, the look on her face took him back. What was he supposed to do with that look? How was he supposed to react? It was as if he was a child and experiencing something for the first time. She didn’t want him.

  32. LIFE , ITS LOVE ITS EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE
    ITS WHAT WE HIDE FROM
    ITS WHAT WE SECRETLY LONG FOR
    ITS THE ONE THING WE THINK WE CAN CONTROL
    WE HAVE IT HANDED TO US
    AND WE GIVE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE
    IT MAKES US FEEL POWERFUL
    AND TURNS AROUND AND TAKES ALL YOUR SELF WORTH
    IT HURTS

  33. begets a cowering of oneself, huddling deep within you soul, so that it will not happen again.

  34. Does it count as rejection when he wants to keep holding your hand? Is it allowed to hurt worse that he tells you he wants to make sure you will always smile and then reminds you of the realization of friendly loneliness that stopped the charming dance. Reject me not for the fear of love, but that you do not love me, I can’t hear anything but love letters from your lips, thorny letters.

  35. rejection sucks. im afraid of it. so that’s why I don’t take enough chances. I think im not afraid of it, but then i think of all the things im not experiencing in spite of it.

    by Brittany on 12.21.2010
  36. Rejection sucks. An example is not getting picked in gym class. You feel like a loser and just want to cry. It is okay to reject people on facebook though, because it is the internet and those feelings aren’t real.

  37. I hate being rejected. it feels as if everything that matters to you is destroyed. especially when the only thing you want is denied from your grasp. It sucks.

  38. I’ve known the feeling of total rejection. Not just “I’m sorry” or “no”. I mean, watching them end their very existence, even if only temporarily, just because they hate, despise and fear you. Never before has something like that hurt so much. But, I think I may have grown up a bit because of it.

  39. rejection is a cruel thing. many people deal with this word all to much through life. too many then need be. people need to reach out and feel for others emotions and be compasionate of them.

  40. i what i feel when i think about you and her. its what i feel right now since i didn’t make the dean’s list. is a common trait amongst good people. is a bitter learning tool. is never a bad thing.
