If a woman rejected me, that's the last time we speak. That's how I dealt with rejection.

Yeah. There's no reason to stick around and remind yourself of something you'd rather forget.

This is what I mean by not taking rejection personally. If you say "your loss" when someone rejects you, what you're basically saying is that person would've been better off with you than without. But how do you know? Maybe the other person is better qualified to decide that. And saying "your loss" is also a way of criticizing the other person and saying they're making a mistake and might regret their decision.

That's a pretty childish reaction.

I don't really deal with rejection other than my own. I haven't really bothered to ask anyone out for many reasons. One reason is that I reject myself and I also think that I would have a harder time dealing with yes, than no. At least if she says no, it validates me on some level.

The other reason is that I occasionally get approached for something. (I can't handle a yes, an approach would throw me off more because an approach is her saying HELL YEAH!!! )

If I can't accept myself, then I really do not expect others to accept me.

Life is just so surprising.
