Rejection comes in many forms. It can involve being rejected by another human being or it can be a simple rejection by a group of people you wanted to hang out with. Depending on your emotional involvement, a rejection can be something that you can just brush off and walk away or it can devastate you.
As you can see that with this much variety in the type of emotional hurt, there is no one way of dealing with the aftermath of rejection. The strategy to deal with it can differ depending on the person, situation, timing, etc. So, I am going to list the most common denominator of the situation and how to deal with it. While 'living in limbo' is just a side effect that can be eliminated once the heart of the problem is resolved.
One commotion theme in the after math of a rejection is the blow dealt out to a person's self-worth and confidence. The thing is, that there is no remedy to get your idea self-worth back to equilibrium. It has to come from within yourself to understand and believe that you are worthy of being yourself without apology or approval.
The best way to remember this is to be with your friends and family - the people who love you and accept you as you are. Trust me, if you forgot why you should be accepted, then there is no better way of remembering it back by being with people who already accept you. The important thing to remember is that it is always difficult to reach out to others (this is where you can be in a limbo) after you have been emotionally injured. So be brave and reach out....... trust me good things will happen again.
