What's worse, being rejected or rejecting and losing them as a friend?

[TheAfrikan]

Being rejected is one thing and not all that of a big deal.
BUT being rejected and losing one as a friend is a big double check loss.

I would say rejection. I wouldn't tell them how I feel if losing them was too much of a price to pay

I have never rejected so I can't say but most of the time when the friendship ends it is usually her that ends the friendship from my experience. I'm good. You don't like me that's ok but to just throw away our friendship is not me. Only one relationship I did that with and that was a breakup where she hit my pet peeve on an already really bad day where I thought I had just survived a tragedy.

Honestly, I've only been rejected and lost a friend once, and it was a long time ago. I was only 16. It was 30 years ago, and it was devastating.

Since then, women are either friends or potential romantic partners. Never both.

Friendship is God... that's the only religion I follow, and that's the way I try and act (I mean I'm not perfect I blaspheme every now and then but ideally I'd rather keep a good friend over anything else).

I want to say rejecting and losing them as a friend is worse because it didn't need to end that way. But it also depends on the situation how they rejected and we're rejected

[chriscdi]

being rejected would hurt more in the moment but rejecting and losing them would hurt as time goes

[jasco]

Being rejected, i frankly don't care if we stop being friends after that. I normally need time to myself anyway so if you block me i wouldn't feel bad

[RHK36]

Probably about the same.

[mrgspoter]

Same thing is it not
