Do we need to “accept” that we were rejected, after we were rejected, to “heal” the wound?

It’s been 4 yrs and it still bothers me. New unrelated rejections keep pulling it back up too. But how I was rejected is not okay i dont know if I could ever “accept” it like it’s “no big deal”. The memory hurts still....help??

Yes, but what we should NOT accept, is that it’s the norm

@SW-User No, we're allowed to say no if we want to. It's a man's right to say no just as it is a woman's right to say no.

@VladG94 huh?!

@SW-User I meant that men should say no if they want to say no, just as women should say no if they want to say no. There can't be a "norm" where a man can't say no otherwise it's tyranny.
