The Author of this book share her personal experiences of being rejected. She talks about the roots of feeling rejected and the ability to poison relationships from the inside out. She talks about insecurities, loneliness, and how we are handpicked by God. The most interesting part I find in this book is the way she ties everything to the bible and how she speaks to you like your her best friends. You just get to listen to what she says and relate to all of it. She goes over the ten things you must remember when rejected my favorite is to to let God use it to make you stronger and take you further. It's a part of life and God will help you step by step. “If you want to know what’s really inside a person, listen carefully to the words
I can relate this book to my life in many ways; it was easier for me to relate to this book because were both 18 year old girls who want to live life the right way. Also I don’t want to live life trying to be like everyone else, so this was really encouraging to me. A part that helped me was the part about confidence and how important that is. Its important to have confidence in your faith because say you get in a situation you can protect your faith and stand up for what you believe. Another part that I can really apply to my life was how when people were talking about her she didn’t even beg to know. Personally whenever I hear that someone was talking about me, I really want to know what they said! This helped me to learn that why fill my brain with negativity sinful gossip, because that’s not what Jesus would do.
"It doesn't matter what you do he said, as long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you when you take your hands away." This quote is trying to say that your interactions with anything should be done in a way that you leave a piece of you behind; like when writing a paper it should express you and your personality through it.Granger, leader of the book people, says this to Guy Montag in an attempt to help him once he began to mourn for Milly.

I bought this book when I was in class 8th and had an enormous crush on a guy who liked by then best friend. I loved the book so much that I recommended it to and even passed around my copy to help those who weren’t sure as to what was going on in their lives. Yes, I bought the book. I was 14 then. The book was intended to empower girls to stop waiting for disinterested guys. And it did emancipate the 14years old me from the unending pain! I realized that if a guy liked me, he would make it obvious by telling me so, calling me regularly, taking me out, etc. and if he does not do all this, he is not interested in me. My world was suddenly black and white.

While reading the book “Why We Broke Up” I had several queries and reviews on the text. My first question is both a question and an evaluation. Min (The main character) is breaking up with Ed (Min’s ex-girlfriend) for numerous reasons and that’s the whole storyline she’s writing letters about why they broke up which makes sense since the title is “Why We Broke Up.” The authors choice of title complements the plot of the story. I personally love the title I think it goes very well with the books story. It kind of makes you realize that Min and Ed are not going to get back together which makes you a little sad because they seem like such a cute couple at the beginning of the book. But my question is why is Min writing her ex-boyfriend letters. I mean the relationship is over why not just ditch him and forget (remember this is a question I had while reading).
My favorite part of the book was the chapter on “Ethics.” I believe my moral compass will guide me in the work place, amongst many other places. For example; the ENTJ, is said to be driven by success. If I do get into a corporate position or become a politician, I’m sure there will be bribes and offers that require me to compromise my beliefs for a move up “the ladder.” As a believing Christian I’ll be sure to look out for possible avenues of temptation although; I’m sure I won’t make such dreadful mistakes, the information I’ve gained from my research makes me want to be all the more
“Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel. Everyone sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are.”
Most of the time, avoidants reject people who would have never rejected them in the first place. A victim of this personality disorder is usually affected in one of three ways. First, some avoidants put considerable time and effort into making themselves attractive to others. They do this so they will at least be liked for their looks, if not for themselves. Second, make sure that their appearance drives others away.
"What matters to me is the person understands, or has tried to understand me, tried to do something that is relevant to me and our relationship."
I must admit, when I first began this course, I had no real expectations other than to learn more about God’s word and how to apply it in a counseling setting. To my surprise, I have learned so much more, things that have challenged and forced me to take a deeper look at self. Coming to grips with the need to put aside man’s ideas for God’s truth has truly been an eye opening experience.
When these types of people fear rejection, they tend try to and avoid these situations as much as possible to decrease painful interpersonal and social interactions. (Kirmayer, 1991)
Someone once told me that life is not always fair; that some days are better than others are. Men do not care for this rule and we want everyday to be great, perfect and full of joy; but deep down we know it cannot be. We refuse to accept the unfairness of life though; we resist in our own unique ways to every bad thing that happens in our lives. We have been known to resist violently, lashing out at others in rage; and we have been known to bear the pain ourselves without rage and violence. Either way we find a way to deal, but dealing is not our game in life; we would rather solve the problem than to risk defeat. However, there are times and situations that cannot be solved; that judgment and result are given in one sweeping blow that can knock the wind out of our self-esteem or knock us out completely. These types of problems cannot be avoided if a male wants to have a normal and productive life. It is a matter of our approach and our dealing with the result that will give us a learning tool for future problems. The problem I want to ad-dress is dealing with rejection by a woman in two different stages: pre-relationship and during the relation-ship.
