Accepting rejection is one of the hardest things. Unfortunately, however, it is a part of life and can teach you many things. For you, but also for others.

In the meantime, while some people can deal with rejection, others are deeply hurt and need to work harder to overcome it. These people are most likely to belong to the following signs as well. Those who have a hard time dealing with rejection.

You see, not everyone is as laid-back as Gemini, who let things pass as if nothing happened. Or like Sagittarians, who probably reject those others.

Each sign has its strengths and its weaknesses. For some, these come in the form of sensitivity and feelings that are somewhat more easily hurt.

So if you tend to take a little longer to process a rejection than others around you, don’t worry. You probably belong to these four signs and it just takes a little longer to heal your wounds.

Cancer

If you’ve ever loved a Cancer, you know that this sign, thanks to its ruler, the Moon, feels everything a little more intensely. This means that he loves harder, laughs with his soul and hurts more than others. It’s no surprise, then, that he fears abandonment and takes rejection seriously.

While he knows in his mind that he must move on and that there must be some reason for him not to have achieved something, he does the opposite. That’s what his heart tells him. Let him persist some more. A fact that of course only causes him more pain. No one said being a Cancer was easy. However, when he finally finds true love, it’s epic!

Leo

Honestly, the reason a Leo has a hard time recovering from a rejection is because—how to put it?—it doesn’t happen that often. Confident and charming, Leo tends to get what he wants. Whatever it is. However, if he does not succeed, he finds it difficult to deal with the blow.

The ego cannot bear it. In other words, it can take a Leo a while to get over an emotional wound from the lack of practice.

Scorpio

You might be shocked at how deeply rejection hurts a Scorpio. He may look tough and sharp, but this water sign is secretly very sensitive.

So when he drops the walls and opens up, being rejected hurts him deeply. From being seen crying, Scorpio turns pain into anger. Maybe even in revenge. Beware of a wounded Scorpio, because he may forgive, but he never forgets.

Pisces

The sweet and romantic Pisces does not do well with rejection. This is because his optimistic nature simply cannot accept it. He believes that in the end he will get the happy ending he dreams of. So when he is not given the tenderness he wants, he becomes very introverted.

The good news is that when Pisces takes time to recover, their optimism returns intact. If there is one sign that can celebrate “we lived well” it is definitely Pisces.
