In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If someone did not want to be your friend, you may find yourself dwelling on this. If a potential friend rejected you, you may have a lot of questions as to what went wrong and why. However, try to avoid dwelling. Unless they tell you upfront, you will never know for sure why someone rejected you. Therefore, there's little point in worrying.  Think about how close you really were to this person. If you were just getting to know someone, only to find they weren't interested in your friendship, how well did you really know them? You may be better off forgetting what occurred and moving on. Be aware of your thoughts. When you find yourself dwelling on something, do something to distract yourself. Read a book or watch television. Ruminating over something may result in you feeling anxious or becoming upset about something you can’t change. If you're online a lot, avoid looking at social media profiles of the person who rejected you. Pouring over someone's Facebook profile will only re-open old wounds. You may start wondering why they rejected your friendship all over again.  Try to block seeing the person's updates for awhile. This will help you from inadvertently seeing their pages when browsing social media. You might want to stay off social media altogether for a bit, especially if you're struggling to accept the rejection. Remember that many people only share the good things about themselves, so what you see online is not the full picture. If you view rejection as solely negative, you'll have trouble forgetting it. Instead of seeing rejection as a failure, see it as one in a series of endeavors that did not work out. This way, it'll be easier for you to forget and move on to the next thing.  Think about it this way: You pushed yourself out of your comfort zone and tried to make a new friend. Many people are terrified of opening up their social circles. You deserve some credit for trying to meet someone new. This friendship did not work out. That's normal. Many people have a lot of commitments and relationships to attend to. If someone simply did not click with you as a friend, they may have decided to move on. Look towards the future. While this new friend did not work out, there are plenty of opportunities left to meet people and make new friends. Keep in mind that if you were able to make a connection once, you can certainly do it again with someone else. It's okay to feel pain after being rejected. If you try to completely forget negative feelings, you may end up feeling them more. If you really want to let go, embrace the pain briefly. This will allow you to release any anger and resentment and take steps forward.  No one likes being rejected. It hurts when someone does not want to be your friend. Allow yourself to be human and grieve the loss. Give yourself a few hours or a day to be sad. Then, focus your energies forward. Think something like, "That was sad. I wish it would have ended differently, but I need to move on now." Think about what’s ahead and the type of friends want to make in the future. Practice mindfulness and live in the present moment instead of dwelling on rejection. Staying focused on what is happening in your life right now will help you to avoid feeling distressed about things that happened in the past or what might happen in the future. If you're shy by nature, and have difficulty making new friends, someone rejecting you can hurt more. A good way to forget someone who did not want to be your friend is to try to expand your social network. Find places where you can make new friends.  Make a goal of interacting with people more. You can start small. For example, promise yourself to make more small talk at work this week. From there, push yourself more. Go to a party you were invited to or chat up others that you meet at a social place, such as a coffee shop or a community center. Look for groups in your community (via Facebook, recreational webpages, etc.) that do things you enjoy.  A shared activity can help people connect.
Summary: Avoid dwelling on what occurred. Limit social media interaction. Reframe how you view the situation. Embrace the pain and then let it go. Expand your social network.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It may be tempting to speak up or help the victim in another another way, but doing so could put your own safety at risk. Instead, take clear, detailed mental notes about everything you see. That way, you’ll be better able to explain the situation once you get in touch with someone who can help.  Stumbling upon a case of human trafficking is a nerve-wracking experience. Do your best to remain calm. Remember that you're doing the right thing by looking out for your own wellbeing as well as that of the victim. Avoid drawing attention to yourself. The suspected trafficker will be more likely to try to get away if they think they might get caught. Dial your country’s emergency response number and inform the dispatcher that you believe you’ve encountered a victim of human trafficking. Specify your location and the exact signs or behaviors that made you suspicious. Your local law enforcement agency will send out an officer to assess the situation. They may also relay your report to another agency that specializes in kidnapping and human trafficking offenses.  You may be expected to provide further information, including a detailed description of the person and anyone they happen to be with. Ask to remain anonymous if you’re feeling uneasy about getting involved. If you get a bad feeling while traveling, head directly to the customer service office and tell the person in charge about what you’ve seen. They’ll alert the authorities, and may even be able to delay the flight or trip in order to help detain the suspected trafficker.  Professionals like flight attendants, customs agents, and conductors are often trained to spot and respond to instances of possible human trafficking.  On-site police or security will then be able to apprehend the suspect and get the victim to safety. If the victim has moved on or isn’t in immediate danger, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1 (888) 373-7888. You can also text “HELP” or “INFO” to “BeFree” (233733). Groups like these provide emergency aid and other resources for victims of trafficking and people who are courageous enough report the crimes they uncover.  If you’d prefer, you can submit a report online by going to https://humantraffickinghotline.org/report-trafficking and filling out the included form. Many of these organizations also offer the services of crisis counselors to those who have experienced the traumatizing effects of human trafficking. Don't hesitate to reach out to one of these people if you've been affected by what you've witnessed.
Summary:
Resist the urge to interfere. Call the police. Seek help from the staff at an airport or bus station. Contact a human trafficking organization.
