how to not feel angry when a woman rejects me

i've been rejected a lot of times by women in my life who i tried to chat to, interact with...always found socializing with them difficult because i never learned the social skills, like other men did, because i had difficult psychological problems and social problems....and i've never had a relationship and i'm late 40s now...but did have quite a few sex with girls i met in my late teens.

but i've never took rejection easy from women, especially if i really liked her or started to feel interested in her...and she backed off and i never heard from that girl again? that made me feel very angry and disappointed...angry at the female character and how they can just do that to you?....it left me feeling bitter too.....and resenting women for how they treated me when all i wanted was a connection with them??

is there a healthier way to deal with rejection from a woman you started to like?

I don't handle rejection poorly but I do handle criticism poorly. What helped me is 2 things

1) practicing receiving criticism from a trusted partner. For you, find a good friend and practice situations where you are rejected.

2) When you are about to enter into a situation where you might be rejected, brace yourself. Say ok, I might get rejected here, if I am what will I do? How do I want to act differently than normal?

I hope that helps.
