Take time to cool off. It can be a good idea to take some time away from someone who has rejected you. Allow yourself to feel all the emotions you feel. Surround yourself with supportive people that want to be around you and care about you since you don't need to be around negative people. Or take time to be alone. Take care of yourself because you are important. Build your self-esteem. Do self-care items to take care of your self. Talk to professionals if needed because they are there to help out and those people care also and are supportive. You are also safe talking to them and some professionals will do role playing with conversations or things going on in your life to help formulate ideas on how you can get through stressful things or will help you figure out some ideas to try.

Being rejected is never the best thing to happen to someone. As if mustering the courage to confess to someone isn't enough, we still have to deal with the possible rejection afterwards. But I guess it's good that now we're rejected, we can find a way to move on from the rejection and I'm so glad that you've came to 7 cups for help! I think it helps to understand the reason that you're being rejected, it gives you a closure. But when the other party isn't so generous to give you a reason, I guess you've to close the chapter and move on yourself. Hang out with your friends, find new friends, occupy yourselves and basically get away from thoughts of the rejection. And cry if you need. crying and expressing your emotions really help. But if you really like them, it's really entirely up to you whether you wanna give this another fight! But if you do, please remember to take care of yourself as well!

Rejection can take place in many forms. I will assume for the sake of the response that it has to do with someone that you would like to form a romantic relationship with. People are very complex and every one of us has a different background story to carry with. What made that person reject you could have various answers, may that be physically, emotionally, interest conflicts, or even personal "problems". You should not ignore the fact that every one of us has their own personality, likings and burdens. That rejection could or could not have any relation to you as a person. Some things are just not in our own hands. Be yourself, set the boundaries to what you like and what not and strive for personal growth. Eventually you will find someone that will accept you for who you are and vice versa. The unconditional relationships is something to strive for.
