Coping With Rejection: What To Do When Your Feelings Are Unrequited (Pt. 2)

How about you first accept the fact that it’s not mutual. Don’t take this too personally. It’s okay to avoid or withdraw from that person while you process your feelings. You are sad and disappointed now but consider that it might be a blessing in disguise. Acknowledge that it happens to everyone.

We've all liked someone who turned out to not only not feel the same about us but also turn out to be someone we disliked in the long run. You may want to reflect on what you may or may not have done that could have led to you being rejected, but don’t beat yourself up over it. You may want to cry, and that's okay too because by doing this, you let yourself grieve and accept reality and things for what they are.

Give yourself a bit of space and channel your feelings in a healthy way. Validate your feelings and spend time with the people you love or who care about you. Listen to some music that speaks to you. Go for a run.

JUST LET GO.

The more you do, the better you’ll feel and the sooner these feelings slowly fade away and won’t be that much of an issue. If you decide to do things the other way, like pretend you didn't just get your heart broken or feelings turned down, and then you suddenly go about your daily activities like nothing ever happened... I promise you that you'll only be making things a lot harder and emotionally complicated for yourself. Believe me, I've been there, done that!

Remind yourself of your worth and accept there's someone out there for you. Approach your thoughts logically, as our emotions take a huge toll on us and prevent logical reasoning most of the time.

Try as much as possible not to blame it on yourself or think it's all about you. Don't let your inner critic get the best of you.

Most importantly, just because this person doesn’t like you the same way DOESN'T MEAN you aren’t loved or that people don’t like you. Not all love is the same. We don’t like each person in the same way, and that's alright. Simply take a step back to process your thoughts and emotions, practice positive self-talk (like I always do), and take good care of yourself because this is a temporary phase in life and it's certainly not the end of the world.

I hope this helps. 😊💕
