i think the harder part of rejection is feeling that it was mutual love for a long time untill you realise you were completely wrong and losing trust in your own judgements..

You can be the most yummy, most delicious, best chocolate cake in the world, but there's always going to be someone who just doesn't like chocolate cake!

I love this saying "You were not rejected, you were re-directed" ♥

Rejection is better than regret. Always remember and never forget that.

[aktapatel]

Take rejection as compliment ...sometimes they reject you because they feel like they deserve worse

[gbessone]

This is what i always say. Regret is ten times WORSE than rejection. "What ifs" are the ones that kill you.

rejection can hit your core wounds from childhood

"Rejection is momentary, regret is for a lifetime" - this video is precise, thank you

Remember:
1. when people show you who they are, believe them!
2. Don’t let anybody tell you twice, they don’t want you.
3. There are plenty of fish in the world.
Easy to understand, but difficult to apply 😭

View rejection as a tool that reveals incompatibility as opposed to a measurement of unworthiness or inadequacy - by allowing people to be a measurement of your worthiness you’re essentially giving them the power to decide and judge who you are. Take them off the pedestal and bring them down to the human level.

Just because someone rejects us doesn't mean we have to reject ourselves…it doesn't mean we're not lovable or worthy. Maybe that was the wrong person for you or the wrong job for you. Rejection doesn't have to defeat us, it can actually help us become more resilient, build up thicker skin and allows us to persevere. Honestly, we all fear rejection because we are human, & it is a very human condition. But, we also have the power to rise above it and become stronger because of it.

Rejection is the universe's protection. Loved this.

Rejection is the worst! Knowing that you have to walk away from a person you like and not to have them in your life for your emotional health is VERY difficult.

Got rejected, felt like shit all week, like I was drowning. Listening to this really helped bring me back up to the surface. Thank you.

Yesterday I was 25 and today I am 74 and I don't know what happened to those years in between. My husband rejected me after 16 years of marriage. He went out and got married again right away, never looking back at me or caring. I spent all these years not knowing how to handle the rejection. I'm alone, me my dogs and cats. I don't want girl friends I want a companion to enjoy doing things with, a hug, a kiss and maybe making love. You make sense to me and I watch your videos again and again until the understanding you are giving me sinks in. I wish I would have had your videos years ago so I would have begun to live the life I should have had. I just broke up with a man and your videos are helping me now. (It had been 24 years since I had been with a man) Now, thanks to your advice I am handling this break up. I'm so grateful to you!

It's not the fear of rejection, it's the loss of interest in dating once you have put so much energy behind someone who never wanted you, n in the process u cross the age bar, n then feel ur too old anyway, n dating doesn't feel as good it does in 20's

Rejection hurts. I'm 65 and have been rejected and have rejected. That is something you have to experience in life and at the time, you sometimes think you won't survive it. But you do. Good posting, Matthew.

Guys never be afraid of rejection. Regret is much worse. I’m going through the feeling of regret rn and it’s the worst thing ever bc you realize you‘ve wasted an amazing opportunity.

[nevenaprokic]

It’s better to be rejected than ending up with person that doesn’t really want you, or doesn’t get you.
It’s really hard sometimes, when you had something nice with him, but after a while you realize why it was better to split up.

Matt, you are such a sweetheart!💜

Rejection is a brutally honest way to accept, "Hey, we're just not compatible enough."

Rejection is a precious gift you may receive to allow you to refine your character (staying confident, remaining humble, gaining motivation, becoming even more postive, etc.) while moving on to 'casually' find somebody who is a better fit for all that you are.
