Egos are fickle things. Sure, some of us are more naturally confident than others but even the most self-assured person has been dealt a blow to the ego at some point in their lives.
And when it comes to the art of bruising the ego, rejection is one of the easiest ways to go about it. Especially rejection of the romantic variety.

But it’s also a part of life, so you’re going to want to learn how to manage the feelings that come as a result of that experience.
