I don't deal well with rejection at all. I end up in tears. No idea why people think it's okay sorry :-(

I deal with it mostly by avoiding situations where it's a possibility. But this means that I am stuck living with tons of regrets about "what might have been"

Trying to take more risks and have fewer regrets.

Depends on the type of rejection really...

Without any context I can't really provide any constructive feedback, but I wanted you to know I'm sorry you're dealing with it.

It sucks no matter the circumstance.

This is what I do as well.

Yes it hurts... It's the kind of experience you just have to ride out - and you eventually recover & bounce back...

I absolutely understand that it doesn't feel this way (right now) - but the truth is that your real self-worth is not defined by how someone else chooses to treat you or regard you.
