How to Handle Rejection Without Completely Spiraling, According to an Expert

While dealing with rejection, you might be having negative thoughts like, "Why am I not good enough?" or "What did I do wrong?" And though it's natural to feel such emotions after a negative experience like rejection, Lopez suggest reframing these thoughts in a positive light in order to avoid being stuck in a rut.

"Make sure to catch those negative thoughts and replace them with kind words toward yourself like, 'It just wasn't meant to be, but I'll find my person' or 'I am good enough and worthy of great love,'" Lopez says. "These positive affirmations can make a huge difference, even though they seem so simple."
