I think of myself as a person who does not cope well with rejection. It is mainly because of not having many friends. Although I can appear to look friendly to people whom I just met, and can connect with them easily, I tend to not make further effort to tighten that connection immediately. I believe friendship should grow naturally and it should be reciprocal. However, it really hurts my feeling when the selected few who I consider as potential friends reject or disregard me when I do make the effort.

Its important to remind yourself that not all people can be compatible, Its just not possible even if you Tried anything you could. That being said, just keep trying and notice the beggining signs of someone not wanting to be friends And just retaliate instead of going further And them having to explicitly reject you.
Agreeing with Tom you should focus on your self more every one have there up and downs and there’s a bunch of people in the world so if you get rejected it will hurt but there’s still so many people
Don’t let it affect your sense of self worth. You should ask yourself if you like everyone, which you probably don’t. That means others don’t have to always like you. There will be plenty of great people that you value and they’ll reciprocate efforts back to you.
I wouldn’t get in a slum over others who don’t care about you. We cannot make others like us or love us more because it can result in the trauma response of fawning.
