💼 Why does rejection at work hurt so much—and how do we move past it?

Whether it’s a failed job interview, a declined proposal, or being passed over for a promotion, rejection in the workplace can feel deeply personal.

According to psychologist Art Markman, the reasons include:
🧠 Rejection sensitivity—some of us are wired to expect rejection
📉 Fear of asking, applying, or risking failure
💔 When rejection hits your self-concept or future goals

Here’s how to cope effectively:
✍️ Write about the experience to process it
🛌 Prioritize sleep to reset emotionally
💬 Work with a therapist to unpack recurring patterns

Success in any field means risking rejection. The trick is learning to face it, grow from it—and keep going.

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again." – (Og Mandino)

As we approach this Sunday, let's focus on kindness. In our busy lives, showing genuine care and understanding can create a ripple effect of positivity.
