Part 3: Overcoming Rejection Finale: How to Move Through the Darkness, Pain, and Fear of Abandonment Without Betraying Your True Self

Introvert Attraction ~ Love, Dating, & Relationships

Here are the highlights of today's episode:
0:00 | Introduction: Today's episode explores 3 common ways people *externally* respond to being rejected, and how you can begin to move toward acceptance
2:10 | Response #1: Asking questions and attempting to gain clarity of the reasons why the person is rejecting you or ending the relationship
5:10 | The answers that someone gives to these questions becomes fuel for overthinking, and it can take you to dark places where you feel worthless and hopeless
6:15 | We believe that we need to "know all the answers" in order to move on, but this comes from a place of trying to *do* something to relieve your pain (and ultimately it makes the pain worse)
9:20 | Response #2: Trying to convince the person that they should continue the relationship or stay with you- This often takes the form of "bargaining" or suppressing your own needs
13:05 | Even if you convince the person to stay with you, you'll experience a deep sense of dread because you're no longer co-existing in the relationship as equals
15:45 | Response #3: Staying in the "friend-zone" or being friends with someone who rejects you as a romantic partner (this happens most commonly with women rejecting men)
17:25 | It's normal to feel frustrated or angry when you're on the receiving end of this type of rejection, because it feels minimizing and devaluing
22:00 | It's not your choice of whether you're placed in the friend-zone, but it is 100% your choice of whether to *stay* there (which is disempowering and often comes with the false hope that she might change her mind in the future)
24:35 | The common theme of all 3 responses to rejection is that *you* are rejecting *reality* as it is, rather than moving toward acceptance
28:10 | Acceptance is an active *choice* that allows you to move on- To move forward and one step closer to meeting someone who is excited to be with you, and who values you in the way you deserve
