More often we feel bitter if we are rejected directly or indirectly. It seems that we are lacking so people do not appreciate us or accept us. For me, when rejected, the pleasure is mine. Come to think of it, not my loss, but theirs. And it is not pride.
Before, the impact of rejection really eats me up. It makes me gloomy, makes me unimportant, and makes me unwanted. It was just like I am deficient. It was like I am lesser than anybody and do not have anything better to prove about myself.
The years have molded me to a better person. I have learned to appreciate the fact that not everybody can appreciate me. It is true I cannot please everybody. It was a graceful acceptance of reality. And I welcomed rejection with a smile and even with a smirk.
People have reasons. I have my own reasons. I also reject people I do not like, directly and indirectly. We are all entitled to our own opinions. So why will we brood when rejected? Face it and say – “The pleasure is mine.”

I think only in our best moments can we face rejection and honestly say, "Their loss".
Any other response would mean we need to give ourselves more credit and have a little more pride.
AB - thanks. it is a reminder. i think i should never forget that there are really happy and sad moments and true, we can never have the same response about rejection in those varying moments... thanks for visiting my blog.
