Treat Rejection Like Losing the Game so You Can Better Deal With It
Rejection is nonsense. However, how you react to this can be critical. To better deal with rejection and move on to the next opportunity, treat it like a game. When you lose once a game, you just shrug your shoulders and start over.
As the advice blog Barking Up the Wrong Tree suggests, treating rejection as losing the game can help put things in perspective. Sure, getting turned down on a date or not getting the job you wanted may seem like an unpleasant sensation, but there are actually tons of other opportunities out there that are probably just as helpful to you. You wouldn’t curl up and give up if you once died in a video game. You won’t die if you face one rejection in real life.
