Fear of rejection is one ofrepparttar greatest fears shared by all human beings. Nobody wants to feel left out, unwanted or unliked. And atrepparttar 102046 same time what we really want is to be loved and accepted by everyone - that would be bliss. It will never happen though because we all have biases,opinions and beliefs that colorrepparttar 102047 way we look atrepparttar 102048 world.

So people will reject us no matter how good we look, no matter how successful we are, and no matter how giving we are. If we were to become even nicer, and even more spiritually aware they would still reject us so it is a pointless battle trying to win over everyone.

However we can change how we think about rejection. If we changerepparttar 102049 meaning of rejection it can become our ally instead of our enemy. Next time someone rejects you why not take it as feedback instead. That is, your approach did not work and you need to try a new approach.

So let us view rejection as feedback. When you are rejected immediately set your mindrepparttar 102051 task of intelligently answering this question - how must I change my approach to get what I want? By doing this, you shift your attention back to what you can do and offrepparttar 102052 other person whose approval is theirs to give or not to give.

Let us takerepparttar 102053 example of asking someone to help you with a project at work, you are afraid to ask for help so when you do, your coworker can almost smell this fear of rejection coming from you. So he says No, he is far to busy to help you today. Now immediately ask yourselfrepparttar 102054 feedback reframe question - how must I change my approach to get what I want?
