How do you handle being rejected?

Question

Aairs · Accepted Answer

Girls reject so cruely and religiously, without even acknowledging one's existence, including when they play jealousy or mind control games, that it becomes trivial to remotely consider them as human beings.

Then, to feel rejected by low IQ animals feels like... it wasn't really rejection, but lack of brains, lack of personal hygiene, lack of basic cultural ability and norms, lack of human empathy, you know - all the things girls think they are fabulous at but usually compehensively fail to begin to grasp.

I eat rejection for breakfast. What i do as a man i think "Do i really want someone who does not want me? I go to gym/workout, try to look better, learning how to play guitar. look more ways to get money. In short i improve myself. And if that person still choose someone else over me - then whos loss is that? 🤷

It doesn't bother me at all. In fact it is usually the guys I reject that have issues with it.

If a guy doesn't like me and rejects me, I think great. At least he didn't pretend and lead me on to try and get sex with no serious intentions.

I consider it a huge win.

I am single by choice, but I also know all I have to do is whistle and the dogs come a running.

smashleyy · Answer

In the past I didn’t handle it well. It was a huge blow I’d take very personal. I internalized it a lot cause for awhile my self worth was based around validation of others. I’d like to think I’ve gotten better at it as of recent though. I’ve shifted to detaching my self worth from validation of others and instead validating myself. I also now believe that what’s meant for you will never miss you (good or bad, if it’s bad it was just a lesson). If nothing came of us the person probably wasn’t aligned to me and it saved us from going through a cycle with eachother that would have just wasted both our time. And in some cases I do think rejection is protection. It might not feel like it at the time but later down the road i get a glimpse of what life looks like for the person they did choose and I feel nothing but gratitude that it wasn’t me

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

To be honest, I think rejection is good, it can make you more fearless, because everyone is scared of that and Voila, you get rejected but still know what a great catch you are.

I’ve not directly been rejected, but I have felt rejected and I feel like It should happen more often to make me immune so I would actually feel proud of myself, to be rejected first I need to be brave, right?

So, pat yourself for being brave and go out, get rejected once or twice, it actually can increase your confidence, because you face your fears and you are still as cool as before, just with one less fear.

AlexisDiani · Answer

TBH I am not good at handling rejection. It obviously depends who the rejection is coming from and why but generally I ruminate over it for far too long and I hate that. Eventually I’m able to move on but this is something I really need to work on for my own sanity.

I got rejected in 12th standard. I appreciated her for her honesty. That was it.

It could be a memorable experience had she not ran straight to her friends afterwards and spread the news like a wildfire. Before I knew it, the whole coaching centre knew about it.

Never again, will I propose to a girl. Never.

Anonymous · Answer

I have been rejected a lot. And to accept the rejection would have required a lot of courage. Whoever I loved or whomever I wanted, that person rejected me and choose someone else. It hurts a lot. But have faith, God has better plans for us. Trust him he will offer you something better than what you have lost.

asphaltrhymes · Answer

I just move on. I think it gets easier with time and experience to realise, I'm not the brightest spark or that, I should be more realistic ahahaha in my dating options or just be happy remaining single both of which I am content 😁

Anonymous · Answer

I just understand that not every woman is going to like me. It's not a problem. I also understand that some women are rude and hateful, and those women rejecting me harshly are showing me the nasty side of their personality. Again, not a problem because that's about them, not me.

arodriguez664 · Answer

If I am expecting rejection I take it well. If I'm not expecting it not well at all. Outwardly I am nice and cordial. But as soon as I am alone it's snot tears and depressing music

AaronKrieger · Answer

The only thing I do not like about it is the awkwardness, but besides for that I don't get upset at all. It's actually exciting asking a girl out, so I think that adrenaline rush overshadows any negative feelings I'd get from it.

Move on, often to another girl at the same table. I do not invest a lot of time or energy into an approach, so I do not lose days or weeks or months only to hear "No thanks."
