Member-only story
I recently went through a heartbreaking rejection from a guy I had been liking a lot.
After months of getting to know each other, without much of a warning, and without being too direct about it, he let me know that he was no longer interested in continuing our bonding.
In his own words, I was not much to work with.
This hurt me deeply. It caused me some physical, mental and emotional turmoil. I was so sad. And I did cry alot. Like really ugly cry. I’d be lying in bed and tears would just flow.
The rejection hurt me so badly as he had been the only guy I had been enamoured with in almost a decade. I mean, it had taken me so long to find someone I liked and to put my energies into liking them and wanting to get to know them, only to be punched right in the face the minute I stepped out of my shell!
I had also not gone out actively looking for someone to like. My liking of him happened purely by chance. Which was one the best parts of it all. It is such a beautiful feeling to like someone. It’s bliss like you will never know. And it burns so bad when it ends.
His rejection hit me badly and took me on a roller coaster of emotions. The time, effort, thoughts and words we had been sharing might have meant little or nothing to him…
