How to Deal with Rejection When You’re Dating
Let's talk about rejection.
Rejection happens to all of us, no matter what stage of life we're in, no matter what stage of dating we're in, no matter how old we are, how young we are: we're going to get rejected at some point. Fact.
Just as we’re going to reject someone at some point.
Whilst rejection is a totally normal part of life, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. It’s painful, it makes us question ourselves and can reopen our not enoughness wounds.
In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I’m sharing how I deal with rejection when it comes to dating plus I’ll reveal the exact 7 day plan I followed after a recent rejection.
Here are the key topics covered:
1. Rejection Happens to Everyone: There’s no shame in being rejected (despite what this recent comment said on my Instagram….)
2. Responding to Rejection in Your 20s vs. 30s: We discuss how my response to rejection has evolved from my 20s to 30s.
3. The Impact of Toxic Behaviours: I get open and honest about the toxic behaviours I exhibited in my younger years in response to rejection.
4. Coping Strategies for Rejection: I’m sharing my updated coping strategies for rejection, including seeking support from a coach, focusing on self-love, and why I choose to jump straight back into dating.
5. The 90/90 Mindset Concept: I’m revealing my secret to being able to handle rejection without losing self confidence. When you understand these 3 things, rejection will stop having such a massive impact on you.
6. An Action Plan for Dealing with Rejection: I’m breaking down exactly what I did in the 7 days that followed a recent rejection and how each of these steps helped me to deal with rejection.
This episode is a valuable resource for anyone dealing with rejection in the dating world, offering insights and actionable steps to boost self confidence and maintain a positive mindset.
