Rejection

     Rejection occurs when an individual is deliberately excluded from a social relationship or social interaction for social reasons rather than practical. This topic includes all of refusing to deal with others (or peer rejection) and romantic rejection. Anyone can be rejected on an individual basis or through a full range of people. Moreover, it can be either active rejection, through bullying, teasing, or ridicule, or passively, by ignoring someone, or give the "silent treatment."According to the article “Why People Reject Us and What We Can Do About It” by Keenan Patram it shows us the reasons why people rejection others. “The first thing to realize is that rejection isn’t personal. Not really, anyway. It only seems that way because that’s how we tend to look at it”. That means sometimes rejection is not about something personal it’s maybe about our behavior. Despite the fact that humans are social beings, and some level of rejection is an integral part of life. However, rejection can become a problem when it is prolonged or consistent, when the relationship is important, or when a person is very sensitive to rejection. The experience of rejection can lead to a number of negative psychological effects, such as loneliness, low self-esteem, aggression, and depression. It can also lead to feelings of insecurity and heightened sensitivity to rejection of the  group of people can have negative effects, especially, especially when it leads to social isolation. Psychologists believe that simple contact or social interaction with others is not sufficient to meet this need. Instead, people have a strong motivational drive to form and maintain personal relationships of care. All people need stable relationships and satisfying interactions with people in those relationships. If any of these components is missing, people will start to feel lonely and unhappy. Thus, rejection is a major threat. In fact, the majority of human anxieties appear to reflect concerns about social exclusion.
