True, I think I would be lying through my teeth if I say rejection wouldn’t have a great effect on me. I think a rejection, even a very small one hurts terribly. But more than that is the hurt when we give up on ourselves, sometimes it may be many reasons why people project rejection, also we gotta realize that rejection is not denial, it is not discouragement, it is a simple feedback saying something somewhere is not right, we can even try to work on it and make it work in our favour.

I guess we all have different ways of tackling it, the more it makes us grow, the better we get I guess.

Thank you Preethi :)..

I agree,, closure does play an important role, the constant thought of why in the mind is quite a demon to satisfy. I guess sometimes people are lucky enough to get a closure and sometimes the unfortunate few have to keep guessing. But I guess something remarkable in a situation like that is that it makes you probe inside, it makes you ask yourself as to what could be done better, how can I be better, How can I elevate the quality of my life. That perhaps takes life to a whole new sector.

I really like the Shiva trilogy statement you mentioned, it is absolutely beautiful.. Apathy most certainly is the worst part of life, Hate means that you still have a place in their mind but apathy, that probably is the worst thing to happen.

But like you said, everything has a time period and so does mourning, reminds me of the quote – A person who thinks more than necessary suffers more than necessary. Maybe true ;)

Expecting an explanation, we could give an arm and leg to find out what the other person is thinking and to see if we can set right the misunderstanding or bad feelings, not so we can regain their confidence but for closure..what we fail to realize is that this person who does not even have the time to hear you out…is surely not worth it. In this context I would like to quote amish tripati in the shiva trilogy “The oppposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual oppposite of love is apathy. When you don’t care a damn as to what happens to the other person.” seriously…we need to move on and get a life..while we are in mourning the other person has already moved on!!

But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. And, taking rejection personally makes being rejected much more difficult for you emotionally,
Excellent write up Vinay Nagaraju !!

Thank you Krishna :).. I have always been a fan of comments from you. Almost always, it does open up a new and genuine line of thinking.

Very happy to know that you were able to relate to most points here, gives me the feeling that I am finally able to write something closer to the truth. I guess it is these rejections which teach us the value of acceptance and so many times it is so easy to be caught up that we tend to forget how much of a value add they can make.

Nice to hear from you Krishna, looking forward for more such elevated conversations :)
