Why do some people turn vindictive and spiteful after rejection?

[jennifer_bloom]

One guy kept trying to ruin my reputation and sabotage my new relationship after I rejected him because he can’t accept the fact I am happy.

Another guy tried to steal my credit card information after I rejected him because he was jealous I might have more money than him.

Because they can't think past their nose

They look at rejection as failure and they're used to getting their way

And their attention span is probably as long as their nose

What people don't understand sure it might be an embarrassing for maybe 5 to 10 minutes that's about it

For whatever reason It doesn't matter You have to respect that and they'll under it

And vindictive guy you can look at him and say bro that's the reason why I didn't want to date you because you are mentally fucking Disturbed and I don't like that

And then at the same time like I said there's nothing wrong with being rejected because it's not a rejection in a sense


That has anybody ever paid attention That A week down the road two weeks down the road a month down the road after being rejected you run into somebody or you find the true love of your life that's the reason why you rejected because it wasn't meant for you it's not meant for you when somebody says no it's that's the bottom line and for whatever reasons it doesn't even matter people have to stop being crybabies people have to stop feeling guilty I've been rejected many times I've also rejected girls a few times and I wasn't mean about it I just I was not into them they were not my type it wasn't anything bad but anyway

The things that we say that are In life that happens to us Give it 10 minutes give it 10 days Give it 10 months Something positive will come from it

It's a natural human reaction to blame others for our own faults.

My aim on GAG is to decode messy relationship behavior so you don’t blame yourself for other people’s red flags.

Some people tie their ego and self‑worth to “getting” you. When you reject them, they feel humiliated, not just hurt, and flip into revenge mode. It’s fragile masculinity, entitlement, and lack of emotional regulation.

Your rejection didn’t break them—their own insecurity did. Their behavior just proves you dodged two walking red flags 💅

They must always win mentality.
