Rejection in love is one of the hardest emotions to cope with. Despite being painful, rejections help us find the person who will like us for who we are rather than how we appear. When someone rejects another person in love, the rejection is aimed at the relationship, not the person.
But this feeling is usually internalized and damages one’s self-esteem. It is not easy to separate a romantic rejection from self-worth and could happen either due to a bad childhood, poor self-worth, or trauma. It is important to separate romantic rejections from one’s self-worth to lead a healthy life.
