How many times on average is a person rejected socially?

What do you think — 5 out of 10, or 7 out of 10?

Either way — it's A LOT!

The research indicates that it's 5 out of 10.

Have you ever rejected someone who wanted to be friends with you?

Have you ever been rejected?

Either way — it hurts.

BUT… you know what?

Not everyone gets to be friends with you. And you don't get to be friends with everyone.

That is just a fact of life.

Besides, it's the QUALITY of our friendships that counts — not the quantity.
