Being rejected in any aspect of life can make you want to throw in the towel, but that doesn't mean you need to stop believing in love or close yourself off from others. Lopez explains that there's power in being vulnerable, and just because it didn't work out this time doesn't mean you'll never find someone else in the future.
"You had the courage to put yourself in a position to be rejected, so you have the courage to continue because finding companionship, friendship, and/or love is always worth the risk," she says.
Handling rejection is a process, and the harder the rejection, the longer it may take to get over it. But if you allow yourself time to feel sad, you'll slowly move through your emotions in a productive way that allows room for growth.
