Handling rejection is never easy, whether it was a job interview or something as personal as being rejected by the guy you really liked.
However, we still have to pick the pieces and move on in life.
There only so much you can grieve and after that period is over it begins to affect your life.
These seven steps will show the way on how to effectively deal with the rejection.
Reconcile that this is not such a bad thing The guy rejected you and did so because he had valid reasons for doing so.
At least he did not play you and give you false hope.
Look at the positive side and cheer up.
If he wanted he could have easily taken advantage of you.
And if he has rejected you it only proves that not everyone in the world is going to like us no matter how hard you try.
Keep your emotions in check Grieving in public is passé, keep your emotional balance and go about your life as usual.
Although the world will seem much gloomier it till has something to offer you.
Take it in your stride and earn his respect.
Maybe some other time at some other place he will start liking you for being such a brave girl.
Leave the negativity Since you are not able to forget the recent events it is better you avoid places that remind you of your rejection.
Just clamp up and stop going to places where you are likely to meet him or bump into him.
If possible take a short break to refresh and rejuvenate.
Give yourself sometime You are not going to feel normal anytime soon so, give yourself time to recover.
During this time don't take any decisions that will have far reaching effects on your personal or professional life.
Set a realistic timeline when you want to tackle issues that require you to think calmly.
Look for greener pastures What better way to forget the rejection than by seeing someone as or more interesting than the guy that rejected you.
Although easier said than done there is no harm in hitting the dating circle once again.
Maybe this time you will be lucky.
Bank on your friends and family Your friends and family will act as an anchor and will help you come out of the depression.
Get involved in their lives and forget your pain.
This is just a temporary phase and will soon come to an end.
Watch comedies This is perhaps the best way to forget the rejection.
Get yourself DVDs of comedies and spend your time watching them.
Your favorite comic sitcoms will also help you forget the disappointment and you will be smiling once again.
