Rejection is one of the most painfull experiences
Rejection is one of the most painful experiences that any human can have.Men included.Something that isn’t often acknowledged is the amount of rejection men have to face in their lives. For many the weight can become so great that they begin to avoid approaching women, just to avoid repeating that pain.In my own story, I was 8 years old when I first expressed a super sweet innocent childhood crush for a girl in my class.Her response was “ew”.The disgust in her face when she found out that it was me who had left that little love note in her cubby, scarred me.It took me over 25 years to work through it.No joke.We actually got in touch in my 30’s, and she remembered the experience too as she had guilt for the way she reacted to my attraction.Women often ask where are the good men, and where can they be found.Often the good men have a depth of sensitivity in them, and they may still be untangling some deep wounds.Just like all of us.Be kind, be curious, be open…And you might find yourself a king who hasn’t yet been given the opportunity and inspiration to shine.The woman who can see and feel the essence of a genuinely good man, despite his wounds, and who is willing to walk with him into his greatness…Is a kingmaker.
