| - | + | '''Ego depletion''' refers to the idea that [[self-control]] or [[Self-control|willpower]] draws upon a limited pool of mental resources that can be used up (with the word "ego" used in the [[Id, ego and super-ego|psychoanalytic sense]] rather than the [[Egotism|colloquial sense]]). | |
| - | '''Social rejection''' occurs when an individual is deliberately excluded from a [[interpersonal relationship|social relationship]] or [[social interaction]]. The topic includes ''interpersonal rejection'' (or peer rejection), ''romantic rejection'' and ''familial estrangement''. A person can be rejected by individuals or an entire group of people. Furthermore, rejection can be either ''active'', by [[bullying]], [[teasing]], or ridiculing, or ''[[passive-aggressive behaviour|passive]]'', by ignoring a person, or giving the "[[silent treatment]]". The experience of being rejected is [[subjectivity|subjective]] for the recipient, and it can be [[perception|perceived]] when it is not actually present. The word [[ostracism]] is often used for the process (in [[Ancient Greece]] ostracism was voting into temporary exile). | + | |

| - | Although [[humans]] are [[society|social]] beings, some level of rejection is an inevitable part of life. Nevertheless, rejection can become a problem when it is prolonged or consistent, when the relationship is important, or when the individual is highly sensitive to rejection. Rejection by an entire [[group (sociology)|group]] of people can have especially negative effects, particularly when it results in [[social isolation]]. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The experience of rejection can lead to a number of adverse psychological consequences such as [[loneliness]], low [[self-esteem]], [[aggression]], and [[clinical depression|depression]]. It can also lead to feelings of insecurity and a heightened sensitivity to future rejection. | + | |
