In the past, when we were hunters and gatherers, it was important to have other people around you. If you weren't accepted by the group, that was basically a death sentence. Our brains developed to be able to sense the alert and alert us to potential rejection or ostracism. So now because that function in our brain is still very much there, it's still very much active."
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.
