That's what I told my son when he was little and asked why he doesn't have a dad like other kids - I said no you don't have a dad, we don't all get to have a dad, you have a father - but he has a sickness that makes him not realize how special you are, or what his missing out on. When he was older I explained that his sickness was drugs, and the drugs make him not be who he could be.

Dude. I just turned 27. I never dated, never had a girlfriend, or never had a first kiss. I'm also a virgin. Dude, I'm not sure about you but I gave up trying to look for a girlfriend like 8 years ago. It's because it was a waste of my own time. In today's society, we cant get women like the old days. We should just focus on our lives what makes us settled.

The universe, god- whoever you want to call it is saving you for something & someone special. Trust me.❤️ Why? I was the same way. Didn’t have my first kiss or sexual encounter or even a hand hold until I was 21. It’s just right around the corner. I wanted to make sure it was the one & god, I’m so glad I did. He is my person. That’s what is happening with you, once you have that kiss- you’ll know why you had to wait all along. ✨

[@Leoo117]

He didn't have the courage to tell you that he wasn't interested anymore, and then he had the nerve to reach out and not acknowledge the fact that he ended it with you without telling you? That's a huge red flag. Ghosting in itself is a red flag, because it tells you how awful their communication skills are. I can guarantee you that you avoided an extremely hard and difficult relationship. This is something to be happy about, even if it didn't initially bring a happy feeling.

[@LanaBlakely]

You're 100% right. x

[@wizardkitty92]

I can 100% confirm this from personal experience that men like this never grows up. They take you for granted and then come crawling back as always. Good riddance in the long run, but during the rejection you feel bad emotionally of course especially if it someone you have strong feelings for.

[@sarahjadid7646]

Rejection is a normal part of life. Anyone who is successful understands that the first step to succeeding is failing, it’s that simple! You need to fall in order to get up .. so keep falling, keep trying and keep pushing because that’s the only way to go up! 💪🏻

[@intentionalliving7326]

So agree with this, yet it is something we need to take responsibility to learn to handle. Definitely not taught in school... not even business school

[@amarti53]

@@intentionalliving7326 It was taught in schools in the past. But then, kids were no longer allowed to pick teams because it was deemed "mean". Then, kids were no longer allowed to play sports in P.E. at all, because it was deemed "bullying". Then, even if you took kids to sports outside of school, score was no longer kept and now everyone gets a participation trophy, because people were brainwashed into thinking their kids would otherwise be "scarred for life". So now, kids no longer learn very important and basic life lessons in safe and fun environments with their peers.

I got rejected by my classmates when i was 8. It made me sad and i felt like i'm not good enough after that my teacher teamed me up with other classmates and it turned out those guys were so friendly and helpful to me in the end my group got the highest score in the class. What i have learned is that rejection doesn't mean we've not enough it mean other person fail to noticed how good we are.

[@TakeBackYourMind997]

One of the biggest things that helped my fear of rejection was realising that no one is ever actually rejecting 'you'. They're rejecting how you presented yourself in a first impression, an idea you had, a belief you hold, a set of skills you have and so on. You are not any one of those things or any one of the million other things people may reject you for. But if you identify with any of those things you will feel rejected as a person, when that's not really the case.

[@TakeBackYourMind997]

@@chavafrenkel8009 You're not alone in that experience! It can be really disheartening, I hope my comment helped with that. It can also be really useful to keep in mind that you never know when a seemingly bad thing is going to turn out to be a really great thing. These rejections might lead to you developing amazing skills in order to get a job, skills that serve you for the rest of your life, or maybe it leads you to start your own thing that you love, or forces you to take a job you wouldn't otherwise of gone for and you actually end up loving it and being happy that you didn't get the first things you tried for. I know that seems like one of those things people just say, but it's true a lot more than you might think. But don't beat yourself up, the most successful people in the world have been rejected from tons of jobs, it doesn't define you as a person. Good luck 🙂

[@shivangsethi4130]

I like to think of there being a "muscle" that we need to practice to deal with rejection. The more you apply for programs or jobs, ask people, and put yourself out there, the more you're making yourself open to being rejected. I found for myself that the more I get rejected, the less each rejection actually "affects" me beyond the rejection itself. I think we naturally become more RESILIENT and can deal with it better. It's kind of like working out - when you first work out and you're not used to it you get very sore, but soon your body learns to adapt and work past it. But if you never put yourself out there and don' t ever get rejected, the first rejection hurts a lot - *but it's a growing pain :)*

Wise words! So often we feel we need “closure” by communicating with whomever it is we feel rejected by. Which is impossible when we’ve been ghosted.

[@lohhc11168]

Sometime they're not ghosting. They're ignoring you as part of the mind games. Anyhow, still bid them good bye before it gets toxic.

Thanks for the skill share! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

One of the best channels on KZbin thank you again!

I can't believe anyone could ghost you. These stories are great because they really do show how many different forms of rejections there actually are. I agree we should share all our stories of rejection and failure regardless of whether there was a "success story" after it or a positive outcome, because sometimes these moments of rejection become engrained in us and affect our future behaviour when really they need to be normalised. Thanks for the video :)

I really need to start thinking of rejection like you do. I get terribly shy when it comes to reaching out to people that I don't know. So, for me, reaching out to a brand, or a person I'm not close to, is always SO nerve wrecking. The only things that I can think about are "what if they hate me?", "what if they don't want to have anything to do with me?" or "what will they think of me?"... but in reality it doesn't matter? If I get rejected, then I can just move on to the next. There's literally nothing to lose, but only to gain, when reaching out to someone you don't know... it's not like you're going to be worse off if someone you don't know rejects you 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it’s important for us to be compassionate with ourselves and just take little steps in this direction. Little steps but consistent steps 🤗☀️✨✨ We got this 🤩

Loved the message 😊

was feeling down today, thanks for this Lana and the youtube comment section!

It’s so important to normalize rejection! You’re so right, we are only comfortable sharing it if it’s led to something positive...

[@markokircanski9157]

I needed to hear this today Lana, thank you, really. Sundays are now definitely more meaningful after watching your meaningful videos. Thank you for doing what you are doing. :)

Everyone gets rejected at some point in their lives. It’s even worse when a person has a disability and they have a hard time processing it.

I’ve learned that when one door closes it’s because many other doors are going to open for you. Bad experiences are actually life lessons that makes us stronger. We just have to learn how to let go and be positive all the time.

I always love your authenticity and courage to share so vulnerably. I think it has so much value to help all of us feel less alone. Thank you so much Lana

[@StrongMindedCoaching]

Great video! I used to be popular at school, and as you say it doesn't really have any relevance when you enter into the real world! Well done for being real 🙌

This video came at the right moment. Thank you so much for your work, you're so inspiring!

[@KavishaPatel]

I can relate with your videos on so many levels. I have always wanted to share my experiences in a creative way and you have inspired me to make my youtube channel. So many of my videos are inspired by your channel. Love watching your videos. I hope to find my own expertise through my journey.

[@keshiathompson-simplehealt5013]

So true Lana! We all get rejected, so glad to hear your personal story so thank you for being transparent sharing. Girl, that's so courageous of you to send emails to the cast when you were 8 or 9 years old. So true, it's not a loss or gain. If anyone needs some words of encouragement about rejection: What I've learned along my journey is; Rejection is for your protection!! Keep your head held high and keep going, don't quit! Wishing you all the happiness and success!!
