Bullying Rejection

Bullying is a severe form of social rejection that triggers serious emotional and psychologically pain. Studies suggest that people tend to recall social pain more vividly than even physical pain. The pain of a physical injury can diminish with time. Emotional pain tends to trigger the brain to respond much as it did during the original incident. Perhaps that is because the brain is a “relational” brain and therefore a relational social rejection strikes at the core of who the brain is innately. It is important to realize that everyone likely experiences rejection at some time in his/her life, and know that these experiences cause significant emotional pain from the rejection. Based on one’s personality in combination with the biological basis for the response, each person’s experience will be slightly different, however.
