In the article, Why Rejection Hurts So Much – and What to DoAbout it, rejection is one of the most common emotional things we handle as
human beings. It can happen through text messages, applying for scholarships, or
even dating websites. Rejections seems to be a great damage because our self-esteem
is hurting the most. Being in emotional pain is probably the worse than being
in physical pain. Sometimes, rejection can literally emotionally and mentally
destroy you and worsen your physical health. No one in life wants to be rejected
and to always get what they want, but that is not how life works. Usually after
rejection, we should try to revive our self-worth. Remind ourselves to know how
much worth and valuable we are. Do not let rejection from stopping ourselves to
be better.
It sucks to say, but doubt does play a big role in my head. I
always doubt myself in school or in my relationship because I never feel like I
am sufficient. In the article, Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt in Creative Work
is very interesting. It talked about how I should not compare myself or strive
to be perfect. Honestly, I set myself really low for school. I always doubt
myself when I try to apply for graduate school because I feel like I am not
half qualified as other students and I am scared to get rejected. I drown
myself in self-doubt on how I feel mediocre, but I am not. I now have this
mindset that no one is better than me and I am not better than them. I came to
realize we have our own qualities and specialty where I should not drown myself
in doubt. There is no such thing as perfect. If I set myself to strive high in
school, I should keep striving for it. There is no such thing as perfectionism,
but it can only be perfect in my eyes.
