The greater the investment and expectation we place on something, particularly love, the more rejection is likely to sting. Our brains don't always deal well with that ambiguity and want an explanation for things. It reminds me of a lyric by this Australian band called Ballpark Music: I love you exactly as you are. And you will find your place eventually.
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.
