The thing is, it's more or less all in your head. As opposed to other
sorts of suffering, right, like the pain you experience when you stub
your toe. Thanks to the imagination, you can feel rejected even when
you're not. It's a pure auto-creation. Of course, you will aim to
prove that you really have been rejected, i.e. that your name has been
dragged through the mud, that you have been treated in the most
debasing manner -- in this way you exhaust your energies and make
yourself entirely pathetic. The sense of rejection is what reveals the
fixity of a person's thought. For someone who manages to grasp it,
it would seem to be an excellent tool for making oneself more adaptable.
Gathatoulie
And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

"In his review of social reactions to human ingenuity, titled "Rejection", John White (1982) provides vivid testimony that the striking characteristic of people who have achieved eminence in their fields is an inextinguishable sense of personal efficacy and a firm belief in the worth of what they are doing." -A. Bandura, Exercise of personal and collective efficacy in changing societies.
