A situation someone might feel she has been rejected multiple times is when they are in school. A student might feel she has to change her appearance. In the beginning of the school year she wore sweats and baggy clothing, never wore make-up and let her hair flow freely. She tried to hang out with the “cool group” but no matter how hard she tried, they rejected her friendship with criticism about her looks and size. She started to think that maybe the way she was dressing affected her ability to make friends with others.
She changed her way of dressing and started to wear skinnies and tighter clothing. She went up to the “cool group” to hang out and see if the friendship would work again. It did not; they once again rejected her with rude comments of how she is trying to wear things that she shouldn’t be allowed to possess. She took this to heart and really started to try and fit to that group. She began to wear make-up and change her way of hair style.
She changed the way she dressed, the way she acted, and the way she looked physically. She once again walked up to the “cool group” and tried to start conversation with them only to be put down by the rude and crucial things they had to say about her. She thought that if she changed her appearance to their appeal it would help her become part of their group, but it never worked. She learned you don’t have to change the way you are to fit in with others, because all that will do is bring yourself down.
