Rejection isn’t proof that you're unworthy. It’s often just evidence that your mirror was too clear, too bright, too real for someone still clinging to comfort. This breakdown from Darshak doesn’t just reframe rejection. It reveals it for what it truly is: fear of growth wearing a “no” as camouflage.
The idea that we’re walking mirrors, offering others a glimpse of their unlived lives, isn’t just psychologically rich. It’s spiritually subversive. Virgin Monk Boy would call it divine misrecognition. You showed someone their potential, and they called it a threat. That isn’t failure. That’s prophecy misunderstood.
So keep showing up. Keep offering your reflection. The ones who are ready will see not just themselves in you, but their next self. And the rest? They’ll come around when the pain of staying the same outweighs the terror of becoming.
A really new way to look at rejection! I think rejection is also a problem of pride. Too much pride to see the value in someone else, until you reach their level. Pride is at the root of rejection, in my mind. If what you are offering is beyond them, they reject it to save face. Pride is a dirty word to me. Let go of that false pride and become a human again. 💕

With wild compassion and unapologetic clarity,
Well said, Aleksander!
