Rejection Reaction Poll

[j_cheney]

Several friends of mine have been having the blows coming in hard and heavy recently, so rejection hs been on my mind. We often can't predict how we'll feel when it hits. And needless to say, some people are better psychologically suited to handle rejection than others (which can be said about telemarketing, as well) and they deal with it more easily, letting it just slide off their backs (duck/water analogy there for anyone who missed it.)

So,
[Poll #1255972]

Any brilliant panaceas out there for wounded spirits?

If it's hard copy it gets opened and filed in the appropriate place which varies depending on where I'm sitting when I open it. Floor of the car, trash can, manure pile whatever's closest. If it's email...that's what the delete button is for. As long as I already have a record of where it went to and how long it was out, there's no need to hold on to the reminders except in the rare instance where a personalized rejection makes me realize that me and that particular editor will never see eye to eye. Then I might hold onto it long enough to stew over what an idiot he/she is. Then it too hits the recycle bin and life goes on. I recently got one that sorely tempted me to post to at least my blog but took a breather and deleted like all the rest. Just noted to myself I'll never send there again. They have to be really out there to bother me and this one did.

Wise call on not posting about it. Editors always see those somehow....
