Connecting Through Lived Experience
ABAReject.com is encouraging people who may have felt pressure to be silent to share their stories of rejection.
We Raise Awareness of All Kinds of Stories, Including…
Being Ignored
Negative Gossip
Terminations
Retaliation
Bullying
Gaslighting
FAQs
Include whatever is relevant for you. Some ideas might be ways you were treated differently than others, evidence for why you feel you were rejected if it is unclear (like ghosting), and possible alternative explanations. You can share how you felt and how you plan to move forward.
We are encouraging you to keep stories anonymous in order to prevent unintended consequences or regret. In the future we will likely allow non-anonymized stories.
We may include this story in qualitative projects that help raise awareness. An example is our write-up of hundreds of times students in higher education faced rejection and obstacles to pursuing disability accommodations.
