How to Deal With Rejection
Whether it’s getting picked last to play dodgeball in highschool, getting rejected by your crush, or not getting invited to a social event, we can all agree that rejection sucks.. and it can contribute to depressed moods, self isolation, and low self esteem. ..
The more we get rejected over the years, we develop defense mechanisms on how to deal with it, so that the pain doesn’t sting as hard.
Unfortunately, some of us have a harder time dealing with rejection than others. Have you guys ever heard of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, also known as RSD?

I binge drink once or twice year 😬 I’ll go on like 3-5 day binge and then just stop and chill for 6 months to a year. Am i an alcoholic ? Idunno. Do I have a potential to be a full blown alcoholic? Probably…
I don’t know it was called binge drinking I thought it was just drinking. Finish the first one and get the next one
Thankyou ✨ 18 years its been a journey
It happened today on RUclips. A few bad comments tried hard to manipulate me into a guilt trip.
This is so true after college basketball ended it was hard nobody makes it to the nba and it’s so hard it to stop playing something you been doing since you were little but you have to
Just walk away never look back
Five weeks sober, no rehab, no drs. I had an ego death on psilocybin and quit cold turkey that day. No withdrawal symptoms either. Just a happier, healthier, fuller life. I know things aren’t going to be sunshine and rainbows forever, treating myself with the respect I deserve is going to make everything a hell of a lot easier.
research is necrophilia
py sun de ri agent serial killer agents and police are the problem
21st century living seems to have an awful lot of social problems. I cannot see it improving either.
I was bullied because I was from a poor family and my best friend (for me) kept our friendship just to make fun of me infront of everyone.... confidence is not my thing till now,well I am married and blessed with a daughter,I am happy now but still those dark past still haunts me.i wish i could explain more vividly but my English is very limited so keep me in your prayers....btw positive note:my past made me a better person
I would get to the point quicker … over a minute in and no information
I could probably be a great actor with how well I hide my symptoms
Apathy is a huge symptom of Parkinson's Disease just an FYI!!
What where you thinking with that sound effect. Sounds like the mic is being plugged in and out
So I have literally been depressed most of my life🤦♀
Watched a couple of videos about this. Which part of dysthemia is "high-functioning" ..? Is it merely because we try our damndest to live with it ? Emphasis on "try" because it's a whole lotta effort to put in. Also, that's not good enough for me. Is it because we can act better than an Oscar-winning actor on how to act like everything's fine and normal when we're in public, but at times on the verge of breaking down into uncontrollable sobs of ugly crying when alone with our thoughts ? Or is it because there are some of us who can only "function" as a vessel for a soul, only when we're "high" off of something, in order to get through another day with it. Or God forbid, relying, depending on substances, whatever they are. None of the videos I have seen thus far have explained this part. Sure, I get majority of my chores done before the sun is high above the head, and I get some sweat off of doing that. I try my best to shove food down my throat even though I've had enough, in order to gain a healthy weight. I've been told by elders for someone of my age, it's rare to be able to analyze things so detailed. I have the "gift of gab" as some has put it, and in a language that is not native to me (English). But I still feel like a piece of shit on a daily basis, leeching off of "life" for whatever's left of it, hoping I dont slit my arms again for the next foreseeable future.
Bullies are so mean big waste of time they don’t know how to get a live won’t stop with drama harassment should be a rule our country

I need help comes to bullying
Binge drinking is more common in Young adults because they go out and party more and they don't have as many health issues. Older people don't do it as much because of age and health problems.
Thank u for expanding on what they all do. Reminded me before I see one
Mystic Flour = Apathy
I’m not involved with any romantic relationship that is narcissistic- I have been abused by narcissistic family & friends who have been gaslighting me my whole life. I have no idea why. I’m not codependent.

I like alcohol but my heart breaks for alcoholics. They're in a worse position than other drug addicts. Alcohol is so woven into our society that few people even consider it to be a drug. The fact that it's so readily available puts alcoholics in the worst position. It's so easy for them to relapse.
Sometimes I forget about the effect it had on me, because I’ve managed to find some close friends and I have my family. But any time I am exposed to a large group of people everything comes back to me and I feel the low self esteem and distrust for my peers all over again
Apathy because life feels like there's no real purpose.
I am dealing with gaslighters that have a warp thinking even when they are not gaslighting so sometimes it's just their ignorance.
This is a good talk, very practicsl
Apathy has been a relief for me. I think my mind got so tired of worrying about sht and other peoples problems that it has begun to shut down at any sign of it. I welcome it. It has given me incredible relief from the anxiety that has haunted me. I’d rather be completely apathetic than filled with anxiety. It is what it is.
Money kills I agree. 1 person can make 100000 in a day and another can never afford a home. Completely stupid idea.
It’s funny that I’ll watch something like this and it won’t be directly related to the video, but I’ll still end up getting what I need. It’s like going to an AA meeting, barely paying attention, and you figure out what you need to do. Thanks. Edit: The short version of what I figured out was in line with the winner effect. I didn’t feel like going after any wins though. I thought about indulging in a hedonistic activity, but really didn’t even want to do that much, and then I counted to 5, opposite of Mel Robbins’ technique to countdown, because there’s no anxiety so I don’t actually need it for that, but it helped me complete something, a win. Then I counted to 10. Another win. Started chanting God’s name. Another win. Then I thought about pranayama. I just kept building from there, and even sharing this with y’all is another win. Funny thing is I’ve been building a way for my students to process their emotions and I’ve been moving just fine for a good while without any issues, and then I just didn’t feel like doing anything. I think I was possibly feeling overwhelmed without realizing it. I did some EFT tapping right before, which I still found useful because I know it gets both sides of the brain talking to each other.
@swiss, no narcissism is more of a problem that people are aware of these days, by means of the internet. It is a much needed facility for people who have been traumatised by a narcissist! Anyone involved with a narc is in a very dangerous situation. These people dont care about anyone and want to destroy people and in many cases do!♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏
14 months no booze, don't miss anything about it. I don't have any cravings and I'm so glad that I've chosen to stop. I don't know why I didn't stop earlier than this... it's a poison that isn't beneficial whatsoever..
Excellent suggestions! Much appreciated!
So I say things like hey I never said that but I am 100% sure I never said that… Am I gaslighting when I never said that? I get told you’re gaslighting me and I am lost I don’t want to gaslight, I want to make sure my words are clear and when they are replayed incorrectly I defend them…
Hmmm.... But also this sounds like a normal disagreement too
i became a teacher to try and stop other kids from having such miserable school years, to my sad surprise there is very little a teacher can do to help!
BS. Teachers will happily put a SEN student in detention, but can't be arsed about the bullies. You guys need to man-up. You have a legal duty to do so. You're pathetic.
I'm mixed race and since childhood Ihad to go to Japanese school where I experience bulling every single day. I hate it to the point of getting ill every morning. I grow up hating Japanese people. Turns of fate made me come to Japan to work and ended marringa Japanese guy. It couldn'tget worst and got divorsed but I'm still living here and enduring the racism of these people.
