Rejection hurts us in a way that we would never think it would. Rejections can come in very different forms. Many forms can come from person to person interactions such as not getting that job you wanted or being turned down by someone that you like. As mentioned in the article, I believe that in today's generation our biggest concern is getting rejected by others on social media. Rejection is in a way painful and this may be related to the same part being lit up in an MRI when someone experiences pain and when they have talked about the most recent rejection that they have experienced.

Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise?
After reading this article and comparing it to my past few workplaces, I could not agree more with the author. According to this article, almost half of the managers that were surveyed said that stressful or difficult to give negative feedback to their employees. However, with that being said, managers were also giving much positive feedback or praise. When leaders are always giving negative feedback and not positive, it reflects back on them as leaders. Managers often feel like if they give too much positive feedback then their subordinates see a sign of weakness in them and that can lead to them feeling like they have more and more power.
I can really relate to this article myself as I see a lot of this at work. My managers are always so quick to give employees negative feedback, which can often lead to them getting down on themselves. When we have really good shifts they fail to give people praise and recognition, which makes employees feel like they are not appreciated. I believe managers need to focus on the good and the bad equally and not focus on one or the other too much.
