I got rejected

TheNoSparkleStar October 17th, 2023

no not that kind of rejected... i gave this job interview a month back and the results are in now... i didnt get it... my best friend got it tho and im so happy for her

its just that when i gave that interview somewhere in my gut said that this would be it... im gonna fricking land this job and now i didnt... i dont know this wasnt my dream or ideal job but i started to envision myself working there and man i really did see myself there... deep down i knew i wouldnt get it cuz why are they gonna recruit a failure like me but i just i dont know i felt it inside i guess

i know when things are mean to happen they happen, this is just some job after all not my whole life but i dont know im not admitting to myself but im admitting here, its sucks being rejected... i mean ive been rejected my whole like for every single not only studies or career wise, even life wise ive been rejected everywhere but i thought this might be a place where i wouldnt be...

i do also know when the job which is meant for me ill surely get that but what if this was it what if im leaving things behind which is meant for me and i didnt fight for it

i feel like what if when i do get whatever is meant for what if even that job or thing rejects me... cuz im such a failure... i am a failure... i am a no one....

@TheNoSparkleStar your not a failure, your not nothing. You are you and the best version of you ever ❤❤❤ rejection can hurt, make you sad 😢 but I believe in you, there will be many chances that come your way. Don't be disheartened or to hard on yourself. Good things are just around the corner. Huggs you ❤

There will be times when we are not picked for job or whatever.... some interviews we felt we crushed / we saw ourselves in that job etc.   We move on and tell ourselves the right thing will come along and in my experience it did... so let it go you did a good interview and you know you will find something else. 

It is not that we are failures it means for whatever reason they saw something in your friend they felt was a better fit.  We are dealing with people  who have other ideas .........some hire others not based on what we think.

You are not a failure. That belief that you aren't good enough might even be what's making people reconsider hiring you, because they look for confidence- if you're telling them you don't think you can do it, then they aren't going to assume you're lying. You are worth it and you are capable and the first step to getting something you want or something that would improve your life is: to realize that, to work on your confidence and to fully believe you ARE capable, and even if you're not proficient in a skill and it's dwindling your confidence you can learn! This moment it's so easy to learn something new, you can Google exactly how to use Excel for a job that needs it and you don't need a fancy training, etc. Talk yourself up, own your abilities (meaning learn, be proud of, and love what you can do) and be a kind person people want to be around for interpersonal relationships! That can just be simple like introducing yourself, asking people about themselves and being excited to share what makes you happy. Confidence is something you deserve, are capable of, and is the key to some of the locks you want or need to open. Go forth and be your amazing self! Reply to this if you ever need some words to reassure you you can do this, or motivational ideas. I'd love to help. You got this :)
