How You Deal with Rejection, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Every one of us wants to connect with someone who sees and accepts us for who we are. This need is satisfied by the many different kinds of relationships, like that with our family, friends, coworkers, and, of course, our partners.
It's a horrible experience to have someone reject you. It takes a lot of courage to come out and say that you have feelings for someone.
If you are successful in taking this first step, the worst thing that can happen next is being rejected. It makes no difference how strongly you feel about a person; it's always painful to hear they don't want you around if you ask them out.
The experience of being rejected is unavoidable and influences our life a lot. When it involves a specific person for whom we have special feelings, it is especially painful and takes a long time to get over.
