Why is it when you show interest in someone you dont get nothing back but the moment you reject them, they come chasing you ( to that point)? Did it happen to you? Did you reject someone and you became their number 1 crush? Did someone reject you ( someone you were ignoring)and the moment they did you came running after them? Please state your experience and how did you deal with it. Thanks.

I rejected someone and he became a stalker. Posting about "it/him" makes me want to go and sharpen my knife.

I learned not to have too much expectations from people. If I get rejected by default my take on it is it wasn't meant to be and I move on to the next one.

I think most people grow out of that by about age 21

Are you talking bout the same person or different people? You mean you liked somebody that didn't like you. Then, somehow you rejected that same person and the person came crawling?

Put rejection into proper perspective.

Which of the following scenarios would be the most earth shattering for you?

1. You're fired from your job and you have no prospects and have a $2500 a month mortgage and three kids to support
2. Your doctor says, "get your affairs in order, you have cancer of the liver and have 3 months to live."
3. Your child is abducted by a ruthless gang and is eaten by cannibals and they mail the film of this to you
4. You ask someone out and they tell you they're not interested

See what I mean??

God I used to be so shattered when I thought I was rejected.

Then I realised, that it just doesn't matter. None of it.

You can't be everyone's cup of tea, and as long as you live your life by your own morals, that's all that really matters.

In 5 years, you literally cannot remember their name, let alone the fact that they "rejected" you.

Mind you I'm old as hell now, I had to learn all this the hard way.

It's a "type" thing.

If you're not pulling in your "type," and pulling in what's NOT your "type," it means you may not get your "type" in the long-run.

And if you don't get your "type," it ain't worth the hassle. At all.

That's how I feel when someone rejects me. Even when I don't like the person so much and not wanting a relationship with him, once I get rejected it makes me want the person or want him more. I try to ignore it and not act on the rejection because I don't want to do something stupid but it's very strong and it emotionally manipulates me somehow. Sometimes I don't know how to fight it. I don't like chasing people so I try to not do anything but the feelings are overwhelming, the sadness and fears.
