Someone tells me that s/he doesn't like me on the basis of my ethnicity then I just roll my eyes and move on. It's just not worth my time.

If that is all you come across and you are surrounded by racist people who don't like you for your race, then I feel for you and hope that you can get away from that. No one should have to be subjected to such treatment.
There are conservative women who were raised only to go out with their own kind.
My friends are diversified but I do live around where the majority of people are Caucasians though.

So you shouldn't fear putting yourself out there.
There isn't a guy on the planet who can get any women he wants.

I'm afraid that I'm ugly and disgusting to women.

So it's better to just keep to myself and never know for sure that they all hate me.
not true.

Lol, I'm with you Prince. Love it? No. Accept it and move on? Yes.

Failure is an opportunity to do something else. Probably something that would be better off for you in the long run anyway hence everything happens for a reason. When it is a genuine opportunity you were rejected from, or in my eyes a lot of the time rejected yourself from, down the road sometime a week, or years you will realize why and it will make it worth being rejected. If you can't handle rejection there is always a bigger problem than just rejection itself and it will continue to rear it's ugly head. Case in point if you were truly confident rejection wouldn't matter because you would know that you could move on to the something else and not just hope that you do. So back to the simple answer: Lack of confidence.

I'm exactly with you. Insecurity is what makes rejection unbearable. The fact that you can handle rejection is a sign of... being functional. (Would've said maturity, but even immature people can handle rejection)

Also, there are some rejections where when I learned what I was rejected from, I came to love the fact that I was rejected from that. (but that was in hindsight).

I'd say, take your rejection and (shove it!!! LOL!!!) move on, pay it no mind.

Actually, there are quite a few things that both men and women have to make happen...
