Rejection sucks, especially when it first happens. Unfortunately, it’s a part of life and it’s one that makes its rounds in every person’s life. No one is immune to rejection and we live in a society where it is harder than ever to fully learn how to cope with it. When you are rejected, hopefully these rejection memes will help you feel a little less alone. Oh, and also some tips. We hope they’ll make things easier. If not we always have more memes.
Rejected From A Job
Being rejected from a job, especially one that you would call a dream job, can be soul-crushing. This is particularly hurtful for career oriented people who often identify themselves by the job that they have. If you are getting a hard time when you’re trying to find a job, take these tips to heart:
- Now would be the time to try to figure out if there’s a pattern. If you find yourself regularly rejected from jobs, then you may need to take a look at yourself. Sometimes, you might have a bad reference. Other times, it could be that your portfolio needs work. A career coach and resume writer can help.
- Remember that it is not personal. Did you ever have to hire someone for a job? At times, you might really click with someone but things just fell through for one reason or another. Perhaps there’s another position you can apply for at that company you want to work at.
- “Rejection is often God’s protection.” This was a phrase that has rung true for me a lot. In many cases, people recruiting see something that makes them think you won’t work well in their environment. Nothing is worse than starting a job, then getting fired a month after you start because it’s a clearly bad fit. It’s better to avoid that if it’s possible.
- It might be a sign that you’re meant to be a CEO, not an employee. Truth be told, a lot of people who are great business owners or freelancers do not make good employees. You might be one of those people if you have the skills but don’t have the right companies interested.
- Consider amping up the skill sets you’re having. It’s a business world out there. Sometimes, the market changes and you have to adapt to it. This includes doing things like taking new courses, getting certifications, and also working to get more qualifications. It might end up saving your career.

You’ll definitely get rejected if you answer your interview question like this. So don’t do that
Rejected From A Date
Getting rejected for a date can be rough too, especially if you’ve known the person for ages or had feelings for them. This is a difficult issue that often messes with people’s heads. Like, viscerally. Honestly, there’s no way to fully make the sting go away. But, here’s the truth: we still got ways to deal with it.
- You never know why this happened, but it’s not as personal as you think. Much like with jobs, you don’t know what the deal is here. It might just be that they realized that they doesn’t have the time to date someone. These things happen.
- Sometimes, this could be time for introspection. If they said that you mentioned something problematic or you regularly have people avoid you, it may be time to ask someone you truly trust what you should improve upon. Things like talking sex too soon or getting verbally aggressive could be killing your ability to make a connection.
- You want to be wanted, not pitied or needed. If a person doesn’t see your value, then you shouldn’t argue with them or worse, plead with them. Rather, just say that it’s cool and walk away. You don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t really like you.
- Remember that you can only control your own behavior. Walking away calmly is a good way to make a good impression. Sure, they might not date you, but at least they won’t warn their friends about the “creep who flipped out.”
- If you feel like you are getting rage-prone, take a break from dating. I definitely understand feeling like your trying everything to constantly be met with no. If you feel like you are starting to resent women or men, delete Tinder off your phone and stop focusing on dating. It may be time to detox for a bit, if you know what I mean.
Rejected From a Date Memes
The different levels of hurt when getting rejected from a date
Need we say more about this rejection meme…..
Definitely don’t be that guy who keeps asking
Rejected Wedding proposal/engagement
You proposed, they said no. Ouch. I can’t even imagine how much hurt you might feel right now. I’m not going to lie, if you want to yell and scream (in private) and take time to drink, I totally understand. These tips can help.
- Trust that it’s for the best. Not having a wedding hurts a lot, but what will hurt more is having a divorce. Divorce is financially devastating, so be happy that the bullet grazed you rather than hit you. But more importantly, a divorce is also emotionally devastating. The mental scars of being in an unhappy marriage can last a lifetime.
- Take time for yourself and get therapy. This is not a typical breakup or rejection. This one is personal. And it will sting because you wanted this person to be your forever. You need time to heal. It’s okay to cry. But, you also should get professional help to overcome this traumatic moment.
- Don’t be afraid to return the ring. Around 5 percent of all wedding proposals do not push through. You’re not alone, and your wedding ring vendor will be more than understanding.
- Lean on friends who have healthy lives, not the internet. This is something I notice with a lot of guys. They tend to turn to the worst possible people when they are at their most vulnerable. Don’t make the mistake of asking the internet for advice, or worse, going to the Red Pill. It will only hurt you more.
- Do not take her back if she comes back. There’s really no way to walk back from a rejected wedding proposal. Who’s to say that she doesn’t feel like she’s settling or otherwise doing what’s expected of her?

Definitely don’t over think it
At least now you know the relationship isn’t worth your time anymore
Rejected From A School
When your application for a school gets rejected, it can feel like you’re personally slighted. But, it’s not a personal rejection. Many application processes are now automated or even totally random—including Princeton’s. Keep these in mind when you get that rejection letter.
- Remember that you can reapply or transfer in. Many schools are more accommodating for transfers or people who already completed a degree from a smaller university. So the rejection might be more of a “not now” rather than a “never.”
- It’s important to remember that you can get a quality education in a little-known school. You don’t need to go to Yale for a Yale-style education. As long as you’re willing to work, the sky is still the limit.
- At the end of the day, school is not everything. As a lot of wealthy people say, “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.” This is very true about schooling. Unless the profession you’re pursuing really requires it, a good network can help you achieve as much as extra schooling.
School Rejection Memes
Just getting into a school is an accomplishment in itself
Don’t take it personally. Colleges reject a number of applications each year
As we said above, school might seem like a big deal but really it’s you experience that’ll take you places
Maybe getting rejected from school isn’t so bad. There’s plenty of other education alternatives that don’t require taking on debt
