ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
Rejection is an experience I’ve explored extensively, often through what I’d call “rejection therapy.” My fearless attitude in Los Angeles—approaching celebrities, skipping lines, and inviting myself to exclusive events—made it easier for me to put myself out there in both business and love. This approach, while bold, sometimes led to blind spots in my empathy.
Many women, including myself at times, struggle with empathy towards masculine energy. This lack of understanding is not without reason; personal experiences of being used and discarded by men can lead to a skewed perception of the masculine principle. For instance, after a painful heartbreak where my long-distance boyfriend ghosted me, my view of men became increasingly cynical. Disrespectful encounters and discovering that some men were already in relationships but pursued me further fueled this mindset.
Online communities like MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) and Red Pill are born from frustrations on both sides. These groups often reflect a response to perceived misandry and lack of empathy from women, based on shared negative experiences. It’s easy to see how a lack of respect and understanding can perpetuate such communities, as they address real grievances and offer a space for validation.
“Many women, including myself at times, struggle with empathy towards masculine energy. This lack of understanding is not without reason; personal experiences of being used and discarded by men can lead to a skewed perception of the masculine principle.”
Reflecting on my own behavior, I see how I sometimes projected negative traits onto men—through gaslighting, making underhanded comments, or “roasting” them as part of playful banter. These actions were manifestations of my own blind spots and insufficient emotional intelligence. Experiencing similar behavior directed at me helped me understand the impact of my actions and recognize my need for growth.
Rejection, in this broader context, often mirrors the energy we project. For example, if you’re dressed inappropriately for a setting with a dress code and face rejection, it’s not about personal attributes like skin color or body type. It’s about a lack of alignment with the expectations or respect for the environment. Similarly, negative reactions from others can signal a need to reassess how you present yourself and the respect you afford others.
As I’ve matured, my interactions with men have evolved. I now approach relationships with more respect and understanding. My words are more considerate, I avoid being intrusive, and I’ve moved away from disrespectful banter. This shift reflects a deeper respect for others as individuals and an acknowledgment that humor and retribution have their appropriate contexts.
For women navigating these dynamics, it’s important to reflect on how we interact with men and others. Making fun of someone’s appearance or being intrusive might seem like harmless fun, but it often crosses into disrespect. As we grow and become more self-aware, we should strive to treat others with the respect and understanding they deserve. The energy we emit and the way we treat others will shape our relationships and experiences.
Ultimately, embracing empathy and self-awareness leads to more genuine connections and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. ASE.
