How to accept rejection when you tell a friend you love them
Pause before reacting negatively.
If you want to preserve your friendship with this person, resist acting out on your emotions. Rejection can make you feel angry, embarrassed, and just plain hurt.
Don't react on impulse and take these feelings out on the other person. Before saying anything more to the person, immediately take a few breaths to collect yourself.
