Why do I take things so personal? Why do I read so much into what people say or do? Why do women get so emotionally stirred?
It's not personal, it's just good business.
Right. That's why there's no women in executive boards. That's why there's a glass ceiling. We get too caught up about how we feel or how others feel rather than on cold hard facts.
I need to have this mentality. It's not personal. Don't think so much. Don't take offense. I've taken rejection before. How is this any different?
It's not, I keep telling myself, It's not. Be strong. Be faithful. Be good.

You ARE strong and faithful and good! And about your disappointment in being emotional-stirred and caring about others' feelings, I'd like to say that not only does female emotionality make women better but also that you're one of the more generally rational people that I know. (Ok, yes, the first reason was bit totally biased. :P)
Acknowledging that you do feel hurt and offended by rejection, I think would help you feel better, as the alternative might cause you to be more frustrated with the facts and truth. Also, feeling that way can maybe reassure you of your self-worth -- I mean, it says that you like yourself enough that you know you deserve to be accepted, which is great! and will probably give you the confidence you need to eventually get just what's right or meant for you. :)
