Our brain wants us to prioritize experiences of rejection because it's a threat. People who developed this when they, you know, back in the olden times, had an evolutionary advantage. And that kind of explains why even now there is an evolutionary reaction to any experience of rejection and also why we remember rejection so well.
Rejection can be such a blow to our self-esteem, whether it’s romantic, with friends, at work or during our studies. Rejection can be a painful experience, but psychology can explain many of the reasons why we look to avoid rejection and how we can overcome experiences of rejection, especially in our 20’s.
