Rejection isn't always rejection. It may feel like rejection when someone turns their back on you... someone you thought was a friend or wanted as a friend... But sometimes friendships (or relationships) don't work out for other reasons. So here are the rules for rejection...
Rejection isn't rejection when...
...they never knew you. Its true: sometimes, people don't give us a chance. A friendship or a relationship never gets off the ground. So, if they walk away... they're not rejecting you. They can't reject you if they never knew you to begin with.
...its more about them than it is about you. This means they leave the friendship or relationship because of their own issues - fear or their own psychological disorder or whatever. In this case, they're not rejecting you. They might be rejecting everyone. It might look like you're the only one they're rejecting, but if its because of their own issues... they would have rejected anyone who held the role you had in their life.
...the person doing the rejecting is an asshole. The definition of asshole? "a stupid, mean or contemptible person... a worthless and annoying person." Face it: you're better off without them.
