This is what we see when we look at cases of acid attacks or why a lot of serial killers had no friends. It doesn't justify their actions at all. But constant, repeated rejection may lead to this sort of aggression. So what do we do about it? We often tend to over personalize our rejection. We keep feeling like it's our fault, when in reality that might not even be the case

And I got over it by accepting that their choice doesn't reflect my self worth. And I am the one who's rejecting myself over and over again because I may have experienced it earlier in my life and it's a form of self harm. We neglect and abuse ourselves so much, but we create an enemy in our minds and try to throw stones at them so that there is somebody to blame. So yeah, our egos are very sensitive and thanks
And as you rightly said, the acid attacks, the rebellion, all this happens for no relevant reason. Because people are not able to introspect and understand that if somebody rejected you, that means it's not that you are not worthy of them. It can also be they are not worthy of you, or they are not meant for you, or that place is not meant for you. That relationship is not meant for you. There are better things to come your way

The position could have already been filled by somebody within the company itself, and they would have probably been doing the interview just for formality's sake or maybe somebody influential came for the interview. So it could have been many different things that have nothing to do with you, and it's quite often the case. So I'm really glad that you took this path and chose to accept it and understand that it's not your fault

Absolutely. I don't think it's just this generation because acid attacks and serial killers and all, you know, it's been prevalent for years now and it's just about the individual itself. Of course, at this point, there's social media, there are so many things that might lead to more rejection or that might fuel your anger and all of that, sure

You have really raised a good topic to be discussed about because the things which really hurt us, we are not ready to talk about that. And as you are saying, like exceptions and rejections, yes, we are always ready to talk about the good things which we are having, but not about the stuff which are really keeping us in pain. So, yes, it was nice to hear from your side. Keep posting

Hi, Priya. Thank you so much for your response. And, yes, you're right. Some people find it easier to talk about what they have instead of how they've been feeling. And, you know, that's why rejection gets kind of repressed in the mind, and then the brain can work in really difficult ways for the person, and it can get much worse for them
