[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kidding yourself is a really sad way to go through life. Can't you be rejected and deal with it honestly?[/quote]

+1 If you "realize after the fact" that you didn't like your potential friend, partner, whatever, you need to analyze why you spent time cultivating the relationship in the first place. Claiming you didn't care or weren't interested after you get rejected is a weak cope. [/quote]

Not OP here, but I have been in the same shoes before.  I was abused as a kid t was a long road for me to understand normal relationships and friendships and this was part of the process. When this happened to me this was part of my reflection as to what happened. I would start understanding that I didn’t like and heavily disagreed with some things that person said and probably didn’t have the best reaction to them even though I didn’t verbally say anything, I”m sure my body language conveyed it.

For me, this was the start of owning that instead of trying to please everyone, I got to have a say too in who I hung out with.  Now I recognize it earlier and don’t hang out with people if i get that feeling.

All that to say, I disagree that it always comes from a place where you can’t cope with rejection.  It depends on how much you are connected to your feelings and insecurities about friendships. [/quote]
