No one likes to be dumped. And this goes for all forms of rejection, whether by a man, job interview or friend.
Rejection makes us feel unwanted, unattractive, unhappy. The list goes on…
So we reach for that tub of the ice cream. We eat our feelings. We compare ourselves to Bridget Jones with that tub of Ben & Jerry’s. One last feast, and then tomorrow, we’ll turn our lives around, we’ll show them.
This is a disastrous coping mechanism.
