how do you handle or respond to rejection

it has always defeated me and whenever it's happened, always took it to heart and it crushed me inside and i felt hopeless...two situations; there's a cashier woman i like at my local supermarket, she is middle aged like me and she used to be receptive and chatty with me....but today when i saw her at the checkout, she never talked to me and just said 'bye' at the end of the transaction....she was like this the last time i saw her at the checkout as well....and she was someone i liked interacting with...so i felt a bit rejected and wondered why she lost interest in me?

maybe its me thinking to deeply into it...me i struggle with self confidence and self worth, because i have mental health problems and one thing i tend to be with women is be too eager or socially awkward....or get too needy or desperate...which is something i'm aware of and try to control....but i think this is why i've been rejected by women in my past...because they picked up on these things about me.


all i want at the end of the day is to make a connection with someone, which is what a lot of people want.


then there's this woman i was talking to on SW, we sent private messages back and forth a few times...but just recently she has stopped replying to me, she was someone i begun to like, she's from the uk like me....so it hurt that she stopped responding and i took it as rejection once again.


this is longer than i wanted to write, but just wanted to explain myself....and mainly want to know how you handle rejection by people you want interaction with? but they don't want to interact with you?

People generally won't interact with you if you don't fulfill their needs and desires. Some may fulfill your needs and desires but it has to be reciprocal. And even if there is an initial attraction it may fade over time.

If they don’t want to interact with me, I don’t want to interact with them…simple!
