Do you have advice or resource links that can help me on a journey to not worry so much about rejection for both girls and the same gender as me? I think it's been well said many times that rejection anxiety leads to additional problems. If I continue in my current direction, I'll just continue to feel worse.

I got over my rejection issues by setting out to prove that I was just as good as (if not better than) anyone else.

It worked.

The only hard part is that the people who used to reject me before would still reject me, even if they had to make something up.

That's when I stopped giving a f*** about what other people think.

That works even better!

Then Fnord joined Wrong Planet, and we loved him so much here.

And he loves us as well, don't you Fnord? Me especially right? :mrgreen:


Sorry you feel this way OP. Wish I could help.
