Who’s just getting back from pouring their heart out into someone and getting it stomped on?

[ashtraybelief]

"You will eventually bore yourself back into an appetite for life."

Took me nearly 2 years, but I'm at that point now. Keep fighting, lovely people <3

It is not the rejection which kills you, it is the hope and expectation which kills you 😫

[OmerMan]

“Despite all of the promising signs”... That resonated with me the most.. Ohhh.. That hurts.. :(

[PeachPlastic]

"Don't imagine that their past sweetness and kind words provides any covert indications of future commitment. Kill any remaining hope yourself, if they didn't have quite the courage to do so themselves."

Which is precisely what I spent most of this summer doing.

"Think back to when you rejected people."
Implying that ever happened.

Fingers burned
Heart broken
Soul destroyed
Lesson learned.

"Kill any remaining hope for yourself [to get back together with them], if they didn't quite have the courage to do so themselves." Damn, that hit home for me. Fantasizing about alternatives and ifs and buts seems so intriguing but ultimately leads to no good end. I guess I'll have to wait for time to do it's magic.

Cry yourself to sleep for 2 weeks straight.
Eventually, being sad will tire you out.
You will feel nothing but emptiness, which is a lot better than sadness.

Confessed to my crush today. Got show down immediately, albeit respectfully. Thought i was okay with it initially, but found myself crying in bed alone. This video is a great help.

I never had a girlfriend as a teenager, rejection was my middle name.
Middleschool dance, forget it, highschool prom, never went because
I dropped out due to always being alone and not having any friends.
It made it impossible to study, i was always dealing with something
due to being raised by grandparents. As I hit my 20's i thought my luck
would change, yeah right! But, I was A Kiss fan, a fan since 1977.
But, even girl kiss fans also rejected me. I just couldn't win, it's not like
I asked every girl out, just someone I met, or knew over time, but the
answer was always the same. 'NO" No, not interested, or, get outta here
are you kidding me, you! Or, my favorite, yeah, that's not going to happen!
Yeah, I heard that one a lot. Anyway, after going to Miami to see the band
in 96, and, of course, having been rejected by someone my cousin wanted
to hook me up with, on my way home on Amtrack I thought, yeah it ain't
gonna happen ever. I thought, for the first time ever, Time to go!! Time to split!
I was tired of being lonely, suicide looked good at that point. I thought about
having my last meal on the train, then later on just jumping off and ending it all.
But, in the early afternoon, the conductor led this girl who had just got on the train
into my coach, he sat her next to me on purpose and said, here, sit here and keep
him company, as a joke. The conductor was a nice, older southern african american
guy with a gray beard. To this day, i still feel it was a miracle, because she became
my first girlfriend, at 26 years old. 2 years later we got married in Europe, and I moved
here after a few months to start our life together. I still suffer from things that happened
in the past due to all the rejection. I got a shrink I see once every 2 months.
I always tell my daughter, who just turned 16 to be sure if she is gonna say no
to a guy to be sweet about it. I have good days and bad days, my medicine helps
me cope and my wife is the best wife a guy could ask for. I'm a bit damaged, but
at least i'm still here. Others aren't so lucky. Ladies, if you don't like him, say no
but be sweet about it. I really believe the conductor was an Angel in disguise.
To others suffering from rejection, please stay strong, someone special WILL
show up. I really believe that now:0)

"The only good relationship, the only relationship worth mourning would be one where to which two people desperatly wanted to belong and this wasn't in the end, despite all the promising signs, that kind of relationship at all"

Thank you so much.

What's worse than rejection is being stuck in limbo.

[joez]

“They act weird around you. Because they are nice. “ That is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

[jellevlaeminck]

I finally found the courage to confess today and was, as expected, rejected. It still hurts even though I knew she didn’t like me back. This will need time but above all I’m proud of myself that I did this and it’ll make me a better person in the end.

You don't get over it, you go through it.

[richardoneill]

The art style reminds me of the red bull ads.

[lovemecom]

Rejection is something that scares the hell out of us but don't be afraid of trying or approaching the one you really liked because you'll never know that she has feelings for you too. Regretting about something you haven't done is more difficult than being rejected.

I watched this while heartbroken, and a year later now I'm over the hill. It sounds and feels different at both I don't know who needs to hear it but you'll be ok
