Rejection and Relationships

Past rejections that have never been healed can harm your present and past relationships. Not just romantic relationships but also relationships with family and friends.

Almost everyone has a need to be accepted and a fear of rejection but there are some temperaments that have a greater fear of rejection. They also would have deeper pains from that rejection than others.

Can rejection really have that much of an affect on someone?

Rejection can be paralyzing for some temperaments. It can leave the person feeling unwanted, unloved, under valued, and angry. Rejection can also lead to depression and isolation. It may also make it very difficult for that person to do normal everyday things and be around other people.

The fear of rejection can go so deep that being around people can feel like “a guaranteed rejection”. Meaning, in their minds, they WILL be rejected. Not….they MIGHT be rejected.

How can I heal from past rejection?

Rejections do not define who you are. They do not have to take over your emotions or your life. There is hope for healing from past, present, and also future rejection.

For those who feel rejection more deeply and possibly more often this can be very difficult to do on their own. They may struggle with understanding why they constantly feel rejected. Whether that rejection is perceived or they are being rejected really does not matter. It is still felt deeply and there does need to be healing in order to move forward in their lives.

Learning to get validation and acceptance from your Heavenly Father can help start the healing process. It is also important to be honest with yourself and get professional help if you are struggling to heal on your own.
