Self-Rejection
Following a long period of continuous work, I am enjoying my time for self-introspection nowadays.
It has led me to realize a common problem I have from time to time that many of us may also be experiencing, maybe as job seekers or in similar parallel situations as strugglers, namely SELF-REJECTION.
Google says-Self-rejection is?a form of self-sabotage people often resort to in order to achieve a sense of perfection. People who self-reject themselves often believe that they are not good enough or are not deserving of the things they have.
Here's how I rejected myself:
1. I did not apply for such jobs, which I thought were more demanding than my actual abilities
2. I did not share my thoughts (both personally and professionally) assuming that I am not that good at it, thinking myself wrong at that time.
3. I have made overtly negative comments about being my own critic (self-acceptance is good, but not always).
Now I am on the way to improve all this. What am I going to do now?
1. I am going to apply for all the jobs I thought I was not qualified for. (At least there will be a rejection in my inbox).
2. I will face the fear of rejection by sharing my thoughts and receiving a no in response.
3. I will affirm my own value, what I have accomplished so far, and what more I can bring to the table.
This is my analysis- felt like sharing as I think it might help others as well.
