Why does it make you feel SO much like a piece of shit?
I don't mean in a club "You wanna pull? No? ok fair enough..." rejection, I mean rejection by people you know and actually want to go out with.

I thought I was over getting upset over relationships that have never even existed. But it still always hurts.
Its not just a self esteem thing. The problem is I had the possibility in my head for a while, and now its just gone. I keep forgetting, and then I'll think about something related and its just like "ow!" for a second all over again.

It makes me never want to let myself like someone ever again.
Probably got something to do with my general emotional state than just the rejection thing, but it doesn't exactly help.

Does everyone else feel this lost/angry/foolish after they get rejected?

Edit:
Also, its hard to think "Oh well I tried" because I didn't really try properly until it was too late. Maybe if I had tried properly earlier things would have been different. You'd think that would make things easier, but it doesn't. And also angry in a "Well I reckon you knew, so YOU could have tried".

Oh and also I think I'm "getting over it" by projecting the feelings onto someone else I don't like as much.

I should do something about that before I end up being the wanker changing my mind....

because you put so much thought/love and time into a relationship that hasnt even started yet. if everyone wasnt so sensitve thered be less singletons out there

I guess it has to do with self esteem.

I don't handle rejection very well, I got fired from a great job on last September and I still feel like a disposed Kleenex.

if at first you dont succeed, try try again?
