how do you get over any form of rejection

this has happened to me many times in the past, i try to get to know somebody online, always a girl, i'm honest and speak from the heart and i don't hear from the girl again, then i wonder what i did wrong? did i give off an air of desperation?


i do live alone, get lonely, live with a personality disorder so wonder if i gave off desperation signals and that put the girl off getting to know me? this happened recently on facebook with a woman i liked on my facebook friends.....her last message was a disinterested one sentence reply...and i felt rejected.


i'm a male aged 43 now, and rejection, how do you get over it? i always get devastated by it as i have never managed to find any relationships yet in life.

You need to get comfortable with yourself. Your own happiness isn't dependent on someone else, you are the only person you have to be happy with. I don't really worry about rejection because it is an unavoidable part of life. I know what I have to offer and if a woman, especially one online doesn't want to converse with me, that is okay. You have unique experiences and understanding of things in your world, just as everyone does. If others don't see value in that, it is their problem not yours.

This is a great reply. The fact is people are here for different reasons So you won’t always be what somebody is looking for.@Roadsterrider
