If you do not need validation from
another human being, methinks there is not such a big problem. Not everyone is going to like you. And vice versa. Life is too short to worry it. |

It usually involves the use of a Death Ray.

How do you handle rejection, whether from a initial contact with a potential interest or a relationship? What's the best approach? From an inital contact, for me it requires no handling, I just move on, there's no issue there. In a relationship, I guess it depends, I may get hurt, but I will just regroup and heal, then move on. I do try to learn things along the way, but more importantly I don't let it get to me and stop me from moving on and trying. |

Just embrace the change and move on they obviously cant see what a good person you are, anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to feel it.

I find that the feeling of rejection is a multitude better than the feeling of never trying. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." - Wayne Gretsky.

How do you handle rejection, whether from a initial contact with a potential interest or a relationship? What's the best approach? Apparently for me avoidance works best!  But seriously, I don't sweat the small stuff. Not everyone will like me...that's a fact!! If you don't, so be it. If you do, cool. It's pretty much that simple for me. If I do get rejected, usually a pint of Ben & Jerry's works to ease the initial sting, and then I'm fine!

I just think it's there choice. If they truly care, they'll stay in contact, if they were just a waste of air, they won't.

I feel worthless and ashamed at first. I really do depend on others for my sense of self-worth. Some say very smartly, it's not worth worrying about, but I do, because I CAN'T do anything else after a rejection.
I agree with firefly there very much, because I also think that was smart what soufie said there. How you handle rejection depends on your disposition, which disposition is not actually a function of what advice others give you. |

Most times I do the self-Heimlich maneouvre when I ask someone out.
This is how it goes: "I would like to ask you out, so please consider I am asking you out, but I am short, fat, and broke, so I am sure you will absolutely reject me, so please don't even bother answering my letter." This usually works. |

I'm an acquired taste, and often a bitter pill to swallow....so it's a rare day in hell that someone even approaches me with interest.

If we lived close enough, I would. yeah....I think Totage, those that have learnt me....either absolutely detest me....or like me... and I could see a friendship with you would be easy.

I just pull all the wires out of my computer,throw it out the window and smash it to a million pieces and then jump out after it...nothing major!
 Seriously,Ijust move on to someone with better taste and more brains.

There is a fair maid, and she is need of you. Hop on that bus, Guss, and fly over. I think this babe is worth it. If a man can do it, he ought not to stop himself, and in today's world distance, jobs, family, or even already having a wife ought to be no excuse. |

Firstly....you best be EXACTLY who you represent yourself to be...or the rather rude awakening might hurt... Secondly...who says I am in need of anything? ...and wife ditching is NOT going to win anyone ANY favours!
