It is an issue on “independence” (being able to stand up on ones own feet). What is the connection between “Rejection” and “Independence”. If we separate the two, we are now looking at “rejection” and “independence” in a different perspective. Rejection is a state of being deprived of attention and affection thus giving you a feeling of being unwanted; while independence is free from the influence, and guidance from others. What is the connection between these two factors? Basically, when one is being rejected or taken for granted in any way for consecutive times, the person learns to become “independent”.
What is the essence of these experiences? During those times of being a cast off, I felt that I could somehow adapt to that feeling, making me numb to every rejection about to come. Adapting to this feeling means that I should be self-reliant and independent of other people’s attention and that I should not be influenced by what they think of me. Somehow I learned to become apathetic of the goings on around me. I told myself that there are many more things that can be achieved when one is independent. If one depends on a certain person, (In our case, our parents) you are bound by their limits and boundaries.
