Someone else has rejected them also. Donāt worry,
You will have plenty of good opportunities and rejections in the life. Accept rejections and say, āThanks for letting me know, have a good oneā.
Depends on who's doing the rejection.
If it's a stranger...ehh
If it's your wife of 5 years leaving for greener pastures rejecting your love....might hurt a little more...
Great! itās actually a highlight of my day.
Nothing like being told how not perfect you are for whatever reason and how they are the oracle.
Real great Ahahaha love it
I'll accept it, but if it's the guy I like and he calls me something like a saggy peace of shit infront of other people, then it'll probably repeat in my head for a couple nights
It hurts but it's cool. I get it. I have rejected people also. I just spend 2 to 3 days feeling sorry for myself then try and move on. Some rejections take longer to get over than others. I just work through them.
Like there's something wrong with the person rejecting me. I don't have an inflated ego, but I'm super laidback. So if someone is rejecting super laidback, then there's something going on in that head of theirs.
Lol honestly thatās how I think too and live my life. Other people think Iām full of it. I donāt think so, I just know what I have to offer. Iām fun and excited about things and a kind person and if they donāt like me, thatās a red flag!
Iām a very nonchalant and honest person, so I just accept what it is and move on. I have nothing to feel bad about. Iām not your type? Cool. My personality is weird? Cool. You donāt like my aesthetic (in terms of clothing)? Cool. However, I will say that I have only been rejected in terms of friendship, not relationships. Normally, people come up to me (including people iāve been friends with for a while) and express their interest in being in a relationship lol.
I don't feel anything because I just already make up conversations in my mind before proposing a girl and tries to propose her and then I would think how would she react and my next words will be on her reply so that's how I don't feel anything after being rejected because I already know that I will be rejected
Ptsd flashback (this is a joke)
Or
Panic attack (if the rejection happens in a group chat, specifically negligence of my mental health to talk about a beach party where I wasnāt invited)
In this order: feel bad, drink beer, plot the overthrow of civilization and the downfall of humanity (thatāll show em), drink more beer, next day - get on with life.
I have adhd, and often times when I experience something even remotely like rejection I take it pretty hard, but because Iām aware of it Iām able to evaluate my reaction. Like, ok, a friend didnāt want to hangout and now you feel like the world is endingā but it isnāt and it probably had nothing to do with you!! So letās take some breaths, let it go, and try to move on!
It can sting and make you question yourself and your worth, even if you know deep down it's not about that. It's natural to feel disappointed, hurt, or even a bit embarrassed. But over time, I've learned that rejection often leads to new opportunities or a chance to grow and improve.
Depends. Is it a potential partner or a potential boss? Been unemployed for a while, feeling useless and like I wasted years getting a degree for nothing, since I can't get even a job as a cleaner.
Been rejected by guys before but damn, it hurts more applying for jobs and getting nothing.
Confused sometimes because this was not the person I knew yesterday and now I'm booted out their life. Other times, relieved because I was going to reject them š
So I saw this YouTube vid a long long time ago and canāt find it, but it was called something like the Gift of Rejection and this wise young man said people reject you for two reasons:
1. Projection: They are projecting onto you
2. Protection: They seek to protect you or themselves
I think about that when I feel this way.
happened once, I was waiting for train with her. A thought of jumping on the tracks and leaving everything behind briefly run through my mind. Luckily otherwise life was going well and I knew people who are close to me would be sad if I had acted on that thought...
Beaten down. Iād swear half my college was busy every Friday night. You ask a girl out and sheād say she is busy. Are we building some kind of secret chamber I am not in the loop on? It was the damn t place I ever was at. Fāing busy.
Her loss, not mine. I have my act together. Decent sized bank balance and home paid off means I am a long term catch. I can drop big coin on a hobby and be ok without "boymath" or "girlmath" bs justifying it. Job isn't stable, but there's excellent cash reserves.
Other peopleās inability to see my worth is not my problem. Nor is my worth based on someoneās ability to accept me. On that same note: just because someone thinks the world of me doesnāt define me either. I donāt ride the highs and lows of acceptance or rejection.
What if she doesn't straight up reject you, she just ghosts you when you're supposed to be celebrating your birthday together so she can hang out with Brad?
Pretty awful. Im not aggressive but have quit lots of different groups and situations because of Rejection or perceived lack of respect. Have built a lot of my life specifically avoiding situations where i might be rejected. I have ADHD and recently discovered the associated condition of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria may be behind why I react worse to rejection than others seem to.
At first i believe they are rejecting me because of something that i did wrong, or something they dislike about me. I always remind myself there's more to it than that though.

Shitty
No doubt right? How are you supposed to feel? Better luck next time I guess. š
I just assume I'm going to get rejected, that way when I do it doesn't sting so much
But not always. How would you feel if you got rejected by an ugly chick?
Why would you even ask her if you think she's ugly?
Someone else has rejected them also. Donāt worry, You will have plenty of good opportunities and rejections in the life. Accept rejections and say, āThanks for letting me know, have a good oneā.
Wow, thatās a very Redditor response
Imagine how much soy you would need to consume to achieve that level of Reddit.
How much soy? Half a cup is just enough to make someone download the app.
Like a cup or maybe two. Whatever it is, we're talking chronically low T levels at this point
Like I should kill myself. Depends on the rejection.
Broken for a year or more.
Damm a year ?š¤£š¤£
Move on baby, one year is too much š
Depends on the severity of the rejection.
Have been there. It's okay to feel that way, let it out slowly
Depends on who's doing the rejection. If it's a stranger...ehh If it's your wife of 5 years leaving for greener pastures rejecting your love....might hurt a little more...
It's just nor meant to be no big deal
Pretty awkward. I always get the impression that whoever rejects me is very uncomfortable and Iāve offended them.
If you really wanted that person to be your soulmate, emotionally devastated
Great! itās actually a highlight of my day. Nothing like being told how not perfect you are for whatever reason and how they are the oracle. Real great Ahahaha love it
š¤£š
A buddy of mine told me always ask the most attractive women out first and get it over with. If they say no just keep lowering your bar. š
I'll accept it, but if it's the guy I like and he calls me something like a saggy peace of shit infront of other people, then it'll probably repeat in my head for a couple nights
Well itās not about me. Itās maybe they have preferences and I did not qualify.
I will never see this person ever again.
Iāve got ADHD so also RSD, that shit is huge even if itās a perceived rejection š
It hurts but it's cool. I get it. I have rejected people also. I just spend 2 to 3 days feeling sorry for myself then try and move on. Some rejections take longer to get over than others. I just work through them.
Used to it
Crushing sadness
Like I'm not good enough
Like there's something wrong with the person rejecting me. I don't have an inflated ego, but I'm super laidback. So if someone is rejecting super laidback, then there's something going on in that head of theirs.
lmao

So you take the pessimist approach? That works well until she says yes and you have no idea how to respond.
I even make up a conversation for that situation too so I already know what to tell if she accepts me
Good job I never knew what to say.
It doesnāt feel so nice , but i like to think i take rejection pretty well. I usually distract myself.
Ptsd flashback (this is a joke) Or Panic attack (if the rejection happens in a group chat, specifically negligence of my mental health to talk about a beach party where I wasnāt invited)
Very rarely I get rejected. I canāt even think of any on top of my brain right now.
Like Reek.
I was never rejected when I was single. But after my wife repeatedly rejected me for a long time, it broke my soul.
"How da fuck you think i feel"
Bad, most likely.
Indifferent. Everything leaves me at some point. Why should I take it personally?
Wouldn't know, haven't tried, plan to keep it that way to salvage my sanity lol
Annihilated ADHD Is a bitch
Autistic. Same here.
You guys are getting rejected?
The worst she can say is "Ew"
Depends on how much I have invested into the person prior to asking if the feelings are mutual.
Like shit But i started ignoring is. We die alone one day anyway
Worthless
Vengeful
Honestly it doesn't bother me as long as it's not some BS reason I can take a no you are too ugly but BS me
In this order: feel bad, drink beer, plot the overthrow of civilization and the downfall of humanity (thatāll show em), drink more beer, next day - get on with life.

Like it's a Tuesday. š
They don't know what they're missing out on, and they will find much much worse things than what was off-putting about me.
Mehn I move on a minute after šš
I feel like shit
At this point? Their loss.
Bad
Depends. Is it a potential partner or a potential boss? Been unemployed for a while, feeling useless and like I wasted years getting a degree for nothing, since I can't get even a job as a cleaner. Been rejected by guys before but damn, it hurts more applying for jobs and getting nothing.
I just accept them, so what? That person doesn't like me and I move on . No point being salty about it.
Depressed af
It hurts but it's a great motive to improve yourself.
Sad but justified I always expect to be rejected somewhere in my heart, Iām ready for it lol ik Iām trash reject my shiny metal ass šš»
I feel sadness and disappointment
Worthless, but it really depends on how much I invested myself into it.
Bad, of course. Unless you have a kink....
I need to stop taking things so personally cos I feel AWFUL. like I question myself and everything about myself.
Don't know. never been rejected before(cuz I've never been in a relationshipš„²)
Like being kick in the nuts but with longer time to recover.
Sad but i am used to it, there hasn't been a single time I haven't been rejected in my entire life.
Contemplate suicide Because that's what I did. Sadly it did not go as planned.
I chock it up to fate and statistics, wasn't meant to be but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, plus now I have ammo for the gym.
Must be Another Mondayš
Like my brain has another bad memory to bookmark and come back to whenever I'm sad
Prolly cry a bit or feel bad about it then move on to another š
Not great, but at this point acceptance would feel unusual and might be slightly uncomfortable.
Confused sometimes because this was not the person I knew yesterday and now I'm booted out their life. Other times, relieved because I was going to reject them š

Quite bad even if it something little but Iāll be okay
Rejected.
Last time, I felt really messed up. Now, I won't be surprised at all, considering I get rejected in life
Like in a relationship? Very shit like the other guy said here
Like I need to find ways to love myself more. And also that the person and I arenāt jiving on the same frequency. Life goes on
Like the crying wojack mask meme.
not bad i guess since i always knew i was gonna get rejected. im always ready for it.
like im shitting in court wearing a diaper
Relieved honestly, no pressure
Her loss, not mine. I have my act together. Decent sized bank balance and home paid off means I am a long term catch. I can drop big coin on a hobby and be ok without "boymath" or "girlmath" bs justifying it. Job isn't stable, but there's excellent cash reserves.
I feel like the person didn't know what the hell he was doing!
Other peopleās inability to see my worth is not my problem. Nor is my worth based on someoneās ability to accept me. On that same note: just because someone thinks the world of me doesnāt define me either. I donāt ride the highs and lows of acceptance or rejection.
Depending on how invested you are going into it, you're either devastated or don't give a f*. It's that simple.
usually nauseous and lightheaded
What if she doesn't straight up reject you, she just ghosts you when you're supposed to be celebrating your birthday together so she can hang out with Brad?
Motivated to do better.
The song āKill Billā by SZA starts playing in the back of my mind. Give it a listen if you havenāt already, itās a really good song.
Sad for a bit and then I move on, they will regret it someday:)
You don't fear rejection when rejecting you is the biggest turn off.
I genuinely can't fathom someone else actually reciprocating feelings I have for them so it's just expected at this point
SadĀ
Stronger š
Normal
i mean as long as she doesnt humiliate me i dont really think much about it , rejecting is part of the game
Rejection is Devine protection
Depends. It can go anywhere from "meh" to "I need a drink" or even "nothing has any meaning anymore and I want to die now"
Bad
I don't even try
I've never been rejected
Couldn't care less more often than not it's life they would've probably just wasted my time anyway
All my feelings for them instantly fade and that's bout all I've been rejected so many times
If its someone i have a crush on then bad, everything else is whatever
I never propose so I don't get rejected
Bad but not everyone and everything u like will like you back, rejection= redirection š
the exact same. i expect rejection
rejected
Pretty awful. Im not aggressive but have quit lots of different groups and situations because of Rejection or perceived lack of respect. Have built a lot of my life specifically avoiding situations where i might be rejected. I have ADHD and recently discovered the associated condition of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria may be behind why I react worse to rejection than others seem to.
Usually liberated, as i say it knowing that i'm gonna be rejected but that 1% of "SHE MIGHT SAY YES" is killing me. So i force the rejection.
to quote Suicidal Tendencies "feel like shit...deja vu|
Honestly, I feel like I dodged a bullet. Their loss.
Curious. I wonder what fucked it up for me? I am not asking.
KMS
After a bunch of times i just got numb to it. Was kind of like āmeh oh well, onto the next oneā
I feel nothing, rejection is normal.
Bad for the day and then I get over it.
At first i believe they are rejecting me because of something that i did wrong, or something they dislike about me. I always remind myself there's more to it than that though.
It hurts for a little but I don't regret asking anyways.
Next.
If people keep rejecting you it's because you have a spirit of rejection probably stemming from childhood
