I had to laugh at myself, I was not chosen for a job, and I read declination letter, I got all offended. Then I had to laugh.

HAHAH sometimes that is what you have to do. Just make the most of it and move on. You will find something better, hang in there.

I mean, it's better to laugh than get upset. For every job posted, there are hundreds of applicants. If you made it into the top five, that's a success in itself. You won't get every job, but I'm sure you will get one eventually and it'll be such a relief. But all you can do now is just chuckle and move on.

Easy to have that reaction of feeling offended that they didn’t choose you! But nice you turned it around. Usually if they don’t choose you they are doing you a flavor! Something better will
come along.

Haha, dude, that’s such a relatable rollercoaster. You open the email, heart sinking a little, read the polite “we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate” bullshit, and immediately your brain goes full drama mode: “What do they KNOW that I don’t? Was it that one answer? Do they hate me?"
Ten minutes later you’re like… wait, I’m getting genuinely mad about a job I didn’t even get? Lmao. The self-aware laugh that follows is honestly the best part. It’s like your brain hits the reset button and reminds you: “Bro, chill. This is literally just one company’s opinion on one random day.” Suddenly it stops stinging and turns into a funny story. I’ve done the exact same thing and got worked up over a rejection, drafted a whole imaginary comeback in my head, then caught myself and just started cracking up at how seriously I was taking it.
It’s actually a good sign you can laugh at it so quick. Means you’re not letting it live rent-free in your head. Rejection sucks in the moment, but that little pivot to “this is kinda ridiculous” is emotional gold.Next one’s gonna hit different. And hey, at least you’re not the person who has to write those soul-crushing generic rejection emails all day.

You good now, or still low-key roasting yourself about it?

I have been there and the reasons for the rejection were ridiculous, it’s best to laugh and move on, my motto is their loss! :)
