rejected

It's important to teach people that it's okay to say no sometimes Obviously not all the time, but it's okay to know what you like and dislike. We think a part of growing up is recognizing the things that truly make you happy, and well, there are just a lot of experiences that don't make the cut. And that's okay. 'Yes' brings more opportunities, but 'no' can avoid a lot of poor decisions.

Being friend-zoned isn't something anyone takes well. I mean, it's rejection, so it makes sense, but, as one person put it, "Imagine thinking that being friend-zoned is worse than finding out someone you thought valued you as a whole person just wanted to f*ck you." When you put it like that, complaining about being friend-zoned seems a little ridiculous. On that note, here's a list of tweets and posts that elaborate on just how ludicrous of a concept it is, and how people need to stop using that term.

Every woman dreams of the day when their partner proposes. Being asked by the love of your life to marry you is a moment so special that you'll most likely never forget it. But what happens when the person who proposes to you isn't the love of your life? Or, they're proposing for all the wrong reasons? Having to turn down a proposal is devastating, but sometimes it can be for the best, especially when enough time has passed for you to see the truth. These women reveal the brutally honest truths about why they turned down proposals and why they're so grateful they did. Because when you marry someone for the wrong reasons, you might end up like these couples, who are an embarrassment to the institution of marriage. 

Ah, excuses excuses. What a waste of my damn time. They're so predictable too. Of course, we have all given out a fair deal of them in the past. It is hard to straight-up tell someone to their face, "I don't like you that much." But it's just funny how guys always say that girls are the ones who can never be upfront about their feelings, and then they pull sh*t like this. It's even funnier when they say one of these preemptively. Like he hits you with one of these the first time you start hanging out, assuming that you already want him to be your boyfriend. Like actually, I just came to get d***ked down, but thanks for the warning... lol.

Rejection in life is unavoidable. Unfortunately, one cannot simply reject rejection, though wouldn't that be nice? Rejection builds character. It teaches you about yourself, as well as the people around you, and it pushes you to fight harder for the things you want. See? It isn't all bad. But it sure can be humiliating. Sometimes unbearable... but like I said, totally normal!
