Also, a lot of things go into any decision being made. Many of them are outside of your control and even awareness. Try not to take things personally. Figure out what you could have done better, and move on.
This is advice I should probably be better at taking myself. 😉

Cyan: Magenta, how do you deal with rejection?
Magenta: Mostly... I don't, cuz I'm friggin' AWESOME.
Cyan: No, really.
Magenta: Really? Fine - I learn what I can, accept it, then move on.
Cyan: Oh.
Magenta: Why, what do you do?
Cyan: Rage scream and then blame myself.
Magenta: May I suggest 'rage scream and then do better next time' as a slight tweak?
Cyan: Oooh good idea! I'll try it!
