Need advice! Never been rejected before...

Right, I've never been rejected in my life for anything I've wanted - girls, grades, jobs, etc... So I was just wondering what it's like to be rejected and how you go about coping with rejection...

Have you been rejected before - in love/relationships, jobs, etc? How did you deal with it?

I've been rejected with a helluva lotta things and I take it personally and badly. I'm trying to change that- I think its better if you just think that its their loss and that something will come up eventually.

You deal by sucking it up and getting back on the horse.

It doesn't feel nice.
You get over it though.
It sucks when it happens all the time, and you start too think "what's wrong with me?"

I sulk for a bit and then realise i'm better off than most people in the world and in the grand scheme of things my rejection is a silly thing to be sad about.

To be fair the only rejections i've really received is my girlfriend breaking up with me and failing my driving test (which seemed the worst thing in the world at the time)

Are you expecting some kind of admiration or congratulations on that?

I was rejected by the horse, too.

No I'm not...I may well ask a girl out and she is likely going to turn me down because the situation's complicated...it's not going to be pretty so I need to know how to deal with the potential rejection and not end up getting depressed about the whole thing...

Not being depressed about a girl, the fact your asking here proves you will be nothing you can do natural process and all that...of course unless you dont care.

I think the natural reaction will to be feeling sad about it for at least a day though. If not more depending on the situation.

It seems to me that the OP deals with rejection by forgetting about it.

Sorry sometimes my stuff comes out bad ill try again. You are going to become upset if you get rejected by this girl it is a natural thing to happen you cannot stop this by trying to prepare. You damned sure cannot take your mind off of it afterwards.

Infact the only way you will not be hurt is if you dont care about the girl really but im assuming if your posting here you do.
