You deserve better anyway.
By Steven Hall — Written on May 17, 2019
Sometimes we meet someone and we see that we are perfect for each other.
We have a bunch of things in common, we have the same values, we laugh at the same things, but when its time to make your move he pulls back, puts you in the friend zone, or worst of all just leaves you on read.
We all take rejection differently, some people turn very emotional and lash out on the world, while others stay quiet in their room crying themselves to sleep.
It can affect us for months or even years if we developed feelings for this person, but eventually, all of that will subside. For me as a guy I would say that as much as a guy may deny it we experience a lot of rejection, it sucks the first time but if you keep dealing with it, again and again, you become unemotional about it.
I would say to the women out there that putting yourself out, even more, will also lead you to more rejection but will also help you to become more stoic.
It’s important no matter what zodiac sign you have to love yourself first, the person you’ll be with the most in life is you so if you're going to have an opinion it should be a self-love one.
That being said zodiac signs can help us to understand ourselves more, we can use our birthdays to tell how to best respond to this type of rejection and how we can learn to use it in a positive way, to bring us closer to our friends and family.
These are the ways to react when a man doesn't like you, based by zodiac sign:
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are people who tend to be over-optimistic, it’s important to not going into a false sense of reality. Being hopeful that you’ll find someone else is not equivalent to believing you still have hope with the man.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus people tend to be blunt with what happens in a breakup or rejection. Focusing on other aspects of your life and keeping your mind off of it will help you the best.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis are fickle, you will change your mind about whether to continue talking to this man that rejected you, making a pro/con list of being friends with this man will help you to whether he's worth keeping.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers usually act very boldly. You will immediately try and cut this dude out of your life permanently even if he changes his mind. If he does change his mind about dating you accept it, if not then try to spend more time with your friends and family.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo’s love human connection so staying connected to the world through friends and family will help you realize you have a social safety net that loves and cares about you.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos want to pinpoint every detail about why the guy they love doesn't want them back. Ignore all of those voices in your head, they will only bring you down.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras love connections and like to keep even people that reject them around. Analyze whether this is the correct course of action through again a pro/con list.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Anger and fighting is sometimes the first response to Scorpios. If you are going to attack something make sure its only your pillow. Doing this will reduce your stress levels just don't lash it out on anyone you know.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius loves freedom, they love to explore the world, so do just that. Do things for you, take yourself out on an adventure inside your hometown. It doesn't have to be across another country.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn always wants something new going on, so the gut reaction could be to immediately try and find a new guy to crush on. This can lead to a nasty cycle so letting go and putting the time to yourself will help you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius are wrapped in emotion, they build up walls when someone breaks their heart. It’s hard but you need to tear down the wall, creating these walls will only lead to more loneliness and self-loathing.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces love to help others, so going out to a charity and volunteer will be the best option to healing your break up, it’ll also be good for society.
