Getting Over a Girl’s Rejection

Exploring the post-rejection emotional crisis

Getting over a girl’s rejection isn’t always that easy as it sounds. Pretending you’re not emotionally humiliated the second she says I’m sorry, I don’t feel the same way, or I don’t think we’re a good match for each other can sometimes be impossible. While some people can be mature enough to understand emotional affection doesn’t have to be mutual always, others really can’t absorb the fact they got rejected. Whether you’re one of those mind-clouded by their ego or just wished you two could be a thing so hard, we got you. Here’re some tips that will help you get over that almost-relationship you had in your mind. 

PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES

Were roles reversed and you were not really into the girl, you would’ve told her the same. No one commits to a relationship out of pity or just because they’re afraid to break the other side’s heart. Also remember, there were times when you were the one rejecting, you know karma…sorry.

LET IT OUT.. TALK WITH A FRIEND

Don’t keep it all in your head. Like don’t go out with your friends just to silent-sit around the corner having arguments in your mind about it. If you’re not so into venting around people, maybe you pick the closest friend in your group and let it all out with them. Feeling better now? 

DON’T TAKE IT PERSONAL

Rejection has nothing to do with you as a person, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. Doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with the girl either, you just don’t fit together. Some guys can really get offended by the notion of rejection, thinking they’re too good to get rejected. However, no one is exempt from rejection, we’ve all been there.. (Started sobbing already.) It’s completely normal. 

FIND SOMETHING TO DO.. RECONNECT WITH NATURE MAYBE

You know when the breakup hits so hard you have to reconnect with nature now? That’s it. Instead of locking yourself up in your room, hitting the road at high speed, or excessively smoking, try going on a one day-trip. One-day camping at Wadi Degla Protectorate seems perfect if you want to bond with nature.

MOVE ON

Dealing with rejection is tough but you’ll figure out how to move on sooner or later. And try not to redirect all of your rejection energy into finding someone else – just enjoy being single and you’ll meet someone who’s right for you eventually.
