I deal with rejection by telling myself that the person who rejects me, or criticises me, doesn't deserve me! Cos I know that I've given my utmost in all I do, and if you don't appreciate it, it's your lost - then I move on to locate the next person who deserves my focus.

If it is your boss, then try to determine his or her thinking and psyche, to understand where the thots are coming from, is there a higher reasoning for him reacting that way, or perhaps he has misunderstood your actions or something you said. I will go take a long run as I find running helps me to sort out my thots better.

Once I think I understood their position, I attempt to put myself in their shoes and view the situation from that perspective. Perhaps I may react that way as well if I'm in that opposite position.

Wow! Great minds think alike
