You know what, no.
I think that the time I confessed, I felt a LOT of stress left my body, I had no regrets after telling them because I know that if I had never told them I would have hated myself for not saying anything.
So even if you get rejected, I still think it helps strengthen you and also make it less difficult the next time if you find another person you love.
So don't miss your chance to say it, just be sure you do actually love them though, if you confess without being 100% sure you love them, it won't be a proper relationship if they say yes, will it? :)
I tried never trying and rejection. never trying is worse for it leads to regret. That said... luck favors the prepared! Take the rejection and learn from it, it's how you grow. don't live life in a padded cell, but be smart about it.
then again... turtles do quite well living in their shell... but who knows what they could be if they got rid of that hard exterior and evolved to some feathery wings...
Every time I got rejected, I also got humiliated. One time when I used to be in school, one of my friends spilled the beans about a guy I was interested in, and every one made fun of him because "the ugly girl" liked him, and his only comment was that the idea of him and me together was just plain out gross, and afterwards, me and him never as much made eye contact again.
So yeah, every time someone just asks me, "why don't you just tell him?" Because I'm still basically traumatized by that experience.
Rejection is all part of life. You're not going to get everything you want in life. Life is fullmof rejections, just in different ways. Get passed up on a job. Don't get the loan you want... all are types of rejection. But you tried... right.. you learned from each one.

I don't think so. You'll never know if you never try, and I personally would rather be rejected than find out years later that someone I liked, liked me back and that I could've had my chance with them but missed it because I was too nervous.
At least I have my answer and know I tried. I've had a couple of pretty harsh and crushing rejections in my life, and oddly enough they made me grow as a person, become stronger, and in a weird way caused me to get a boost of confidence (as a result of the growing and strengthening I did), as ironic as that sounds. Because I know I can get through them, they don't bother me as much anymore. When things don't work out, it's always been for the best in the end, too.
No. It sucks for a while, especially if it's more than just someone you have approached randomly.
Heartache is awful but you have to have known love to experience it. Double edged sword.
Never trying at all is worse, because not always the end is rejection
No it's not worse you tried if you made a mistake you learn from it your ego is rejected not you you know what I've known if you didn't try and and maybe he wants to see how hard you try or if you give up I run across that before my lifetime. Look your find somebody that makes you happy. Don't rush it all I've ever wanted a family something I've never had growing up. I'm a good guy I'm abusive I'll talk down to people I'll try to see things for what they are but I'm screwing up somewhere I'm picking out all the wrong people have been married three times. I'm done I don't think world will alow marriage seeing how all the options are always there for everybody. right now we see women trying to tell and teach other women to hate men cuz all men are chauvinistic and that's bullshit. Everywhere you look something's telling you telling you that you're not happy try this, medicine commercial asking you did you wake up feeling tired, wake feeling grouchy. when you see the person running through some field on a beautiful day feeling good with the dog. And then I. Know she on TV this is what you might have go to your doctor and tell him what you're feeling metal hook you up with this. Are you tired being married to the same old man well I'm attorney sergeant stedenko if you're tired of being married and you won't out no matter if he's done nothing we'll come up with something because you deserve to be free. Not saying or telling you you're going to feel guilty because you split the family up took kids away now they don't act right Billy's always get in fights in school Suzanne just don't care to go to school. mama don't punish cuz she don't want the kids matter cuz she's built up a friendship relationship with them since you took a boy from her daddy. So kids go unpunished I do stupid shit go to jail for rest of there life. mom's just kind of happy cuz she always knows where kids are don't have to worry about it no more. With the way things are going the kids nowadays don't give a fuck , no respect and think they deserve everything without working for it , and if it don't work out fuck it I'll do something else that's the new attitude not trying to do better or learn from a mistake. Now everybody got a fuck it attitude this world is
Pitiful shape especially America. The place where everybody gets a trophy that's the biggest bullshit I wouldn't have to try to do better we going to get a trophy anyway the same thing got participant crossword and we screwed up at the game our fuck our coach made us walk home after six laps after night game wasn't free pizza and trophies (WELL YOU MAYBE YOU BEST IT DOESN'T MATTER WE GOT TO PLAY A GAME.) MIGHT AS WELL TAKE THE DUCK GAME FROM THE FAIR MAKE A SPORT OUT OF IT EVERYBODY'S A WINNER THAT ONE DAMN IT
Rejection wouldn't be bad if people werent assholes about it , that's what makes it bad , It's not like we walk around with signs flashing on our heads saying what are status is , when we see someone that catches our eye and we find attractive , it takes a lot for that person to walk over and say hi. I always put myself in someones shoes if they approach me even if I am not attracted to them , I am still polite about if and tell them i am sorry i am already seeing someone even though i am not but it's better then being rude about it , People that r straight up rude about it just makes them so ugly as a person , i dont care how attractive they are or if they constantly get hit on , no excuse and gives you no right to be an asshole about it , so if they have a shit personality they are ugly to me , I have seen Girls reject guys at bars that approached them in a proper way and they were still bitches about it , the only way you should be rude is if the person still comes on to you after you told them politely no , I am sorry i am not interested or I am already seeing someone , but other then that we aren't mind readers and people need to stop thinking their shit doesn't stink cuz that is what makes them ugly as a person in my opinion.
I would say that by never trying you don't get rejected and therefore I would by far prefer not to try at all rather than to face the humiliation of a rejection. You stay with a positive feeling.
Honestly, what is so nice about being rejected? You feel worthless, demeaned and probably laughed upon by the others. I would rather never try at all. Are there people that like to lose or even be called losers? I believe that they are in an overwhelming minority.
Being labeled a loser by society sticks onto you like glue and this reputation will be difficult to get rid of.
To sum up: of course that rejection is much worse. It leaves a bitter taste while never trying only gives you a feeling of happiness.
My cousin says shoot your shot because you never know. He always aims high and has gone on some interesting dates because women he thought he never stood a chance with had time, or thought he was cute, or liked his style. He says he fails more than he succeeds, but he doesn't waste time feeling bad about rejection. Confident turd lol
I've done both and I think depending on the person, both are terrible. If you know the guy was trash anyway, not trying is the best choice because he would reject you in a cruel way, so why not save yourself the heartache? But if he's a nice, sweet guy, then he'll at least reject you kindly and you'll know that nothing else could be done.
It depends on a person's mindset. Someone with very low self-esteem will see rejection as being worse because they will take it personally. They will think it's something wrong with them. Of course, some people can be utter douchebags when it comes to rejecting people. Some men who have rejected me insulted my physical appearance. In those cases I'd say that kind of rejection is worse because if you never tried at all, you wouldn't have experienced someone saying hurtful things like that to you.
Of course not! And keep in mind this is from a guy who has NEVER gotten a "yes" when asking a woman out.
Would i do it again? No! But at least i got an answer. That is, from the women that had the guts to reject me rather than just ignoring me till i went away or pretending like they just didn't hear me till i went away. :)
I guess what i'm saying coach is not everyone's experiences are the same. Everyone deals with rejection. But some much more than others.
And after 40 i've learned women are much more aggressive about what they want. I don't have to worry much about rejection. When i go out with friends wimen approach me now.
If you Never try at all you're for Eternity with the What Ifs? I'd rather the Closure of Rejection and Move on than the Torture of What Ifs...
Nope. Looking back at your life with regret is tho.
Depends. If you have a realistic guess or assumption that you'd be rejected, sometimes it's better to not actually get that rejection.
It'd be like... Stealing a car... you could get a new, say, Ferrari out of it, and you'd have this beautiful thing to drive around. But, besides it being wrong... it's pretty risky. The likelyhood you'd get caught, sent to jail etc could be pretty high. WILL it happen? You can't say with 100 percent certainty that yes, you will be caught... but it's pretty likely... and it'd be stupid to try it.
If you take rejection as a learning experience then it is a vital part of finding the most compatible partner. Rejection can help us discover the types of friends that we will be happiest surrounded by, the work that suits our goals, the places and things that bring enjoyment, even the sexual, intimate, emotional, intellectual, physical, and environmental aspects of what we personally need and can give can all be learned from rejection, therefore it is an important aspect of life. Those who do not try out of fear of rejection will never grow, be happy, nor succeed.
Wow... a third of gaggers think it's better to NEVER make an effort than to "suffer rejection" ? What a bunch of wimps, especially you guys! No wonder you can't get a real woman!! Do you deserve one? Coach has it right in his update, though I don't agree with "you only live once", but I DO agree with "you're living NOW... be here now !!"
I believe it's worth to give it try , if you get rejected well you can't say you
didn't try to make a go of it.
I've been rejected before. It's not as bad as they say it is. lol
By not trying you are still getting rejected. The only difference is that its yourself rejecting yourself.
rejection hurts but one can over come it and forgive in time and with the Lords help ! not to change the subject but rejection is like sex ! Sex is best between a husband and wife ! for it is less likely that the wife or husband will tell their friends how good or bad their spouse is in bed ! where as your boyfriend or girlfriend can tell others how good you are or not in bed ! it can get so bad with gossip that someone may commit suicide over it
I think it's a tough call. I think back on the times I've been rejected and embarrassed because of it, and really wish I hadn't bothered making a move in the first place. It doesn't feel good. But, I mean... there's some kind of power in knowing you had the courage to try, right? Rejection is going to exist in every aspect of life, so developing a thicker skin to bear with it is healthy, I'd say.
