It's easy to feel spurned, especially when you return to your apartment and stare at the hundreds of rejection letters tacked to your bulletin board.
There's nothing called a perfect pick-up line. Men always have to face the risk of rejection.
Every time I put myself out there, I get rejected.
I'm scared that every girl I care for will find a better man and end up happier in the longrun
I have a coming-out story that's probably very similar to lots of people who are my age: the fear of being rejected, the fear of losing your family and friends. You know, I worked through all of that, and that fear, and what that does to you, is pretty profound.
You take the risk of being rejected.
I hate being rejected.
I spent a lot of time feeling alienated and rejected.
You can't be afraid of rejection. That was one of my problems when I was approaching girls: I was always afraid of what they were going to say to me.
I think with any sort of rejection, you're angry that you weren't enough for that person.
Literally, I kissed a girl, and, like, a week later, she broke up with me. I was like, 'Oh my God, was it that bad?!'
I got rejected from all the good drama schools first time.
Nobody likes to be rejected, you know?
You're constantly getting rejected in acting. You get rejected more than you get hired!
I've gotten rejected a lot.
Saying no to a project is not easy. I'm always under the impression that I might end up upsetting the director or producer of a film.
Constant rejection. No security. Career paths being dictated by freelance reviewers. And of course, the terror of the writing desk, of the blank page. Why is it so hard for our non-writer friends to understand this - that it's a job?
One of the things I've told men over and over and over and over is if you're being rejected by all the women that you approach, it's not the women!
When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?
It's the rejection that is hard. It's not the interviewing that's hard. It's not the photography that's hard. It's, you know, approaching people all day long and having a good portion of those people reject you and some of them be rude.
I never went to film school, so I never had the chance to be rejected.
I had so many beliefs against being a singer or what it takes. There was a lot of pain associated with that. The rejection of it all. I lived in a rejection state of mind. Not because of my voice; the mike never rejected me. It was harboring all those bad memories of being broke. It teaches you your worth. Nothing good comes from that.
I love the acting process. What I don't like is what's around it. The auditions and being rejected every other day. The look thing. That you have to lose weight, that you have to do Botox.
Casting can be heartbreaking. Dealing with the disappointment is the hardest part.
I've had those periods in my career when I was sitting around waiting for a phone call and had an agent who was doing the same thing rather than going out there to shake the bushes looking for a job for me. It's a frustrating game, that's the downside of this business - the rejection.
