probably dbt
abandonment/rejection is like #1 bpd so youll probably find some answers there

wish i could say more/be more heartfelt but blah my own things. maybe someone can elaborate for me

All I know when it comes to romance is rejection. I don't know what the answer is but I definitely understand.

We're supposed to not let it get to us or eat away at us, but rejection after rejection is just so soul crushing. What's the point of even being alive if my whole life is just women rejecting me or wanting to just be friends?

Depends where it comes from. If you have ADHD you can try looking up RSD. Some fear of rejection is normal. I finally got over it and just stopped giving a fuck, but I can't really say what did it other than just living live and going through shit.

wish i knew a good answer to this, all that semi works for me is never putting myself in a position where it can happen; but the avoidance gets so lonely

hope you manage to find a way to deal with that stuff better

its bullshit, at this point they are just jerking me around same fucking night i was outside till 8 am with them and once i told them i was leaving they started texting me and trying to keep a conversation, im not fucking kidding after i woke up we talked for a bit and they asked me to hang out????????? i might be autistic but i can still understand some social cues lmaoioooioioio

I never put myself in a position where it can happen, unless I see some signs. The last thing someone suicidal needs is rejection.

I don't even know how to recognise signs. I'm not autistic, just lonely and I guess I assume/hope any woman being nice to me and actually talking to me might be interested in me.

I think the problem is that no one is interested but of course that's not a nice reality to consider and without hope I'd obviously CTB immediately

i think this is the hardest, any kind of rejection makes me remember that how i feel about myself - so insecure... in this last year, i'm trying not to take things personal, and its actually helping
