Rejection can hurt for many reasons, but it's important to learn to move on and accept what has happened.
There are fives stages to grief:
1. Denial: When you are unable to accept the situation
2. Anger: Once realization dawns upon you, it can feel frustrating knowing you were rejected
3. Bargaining: This is when you try to rationalize with the situation and attempt to change it for your own benefit
4. Depression: Once you realize nothing can be done, you enter a deep state of sadness.
4. Acceptance: After all these emotions flood through you will you finally come to terms with the rejection and feel ready to move on.
However, many people fly through these stages for different lengths of time and feels these emotions differently.
What's important is to take a step back from the situation and try not to let your emotions get the best of you. It can be tempting to act on impulse, but by removing yourself from the situation will you be able to make rational decisions that you will not come to regret later.
That doesn't neccesarily mean it is wrong to feel your emotions, understanding how you feel is a key step to moving past rejection. Only you are capable of analyzing your feelings and finding a solution.
You also play a key role in making it past rejection by treating yourself right. Being kind to yourself, staying healthy, having a growth mindset are all things that can improve your situation.
