Rejection therapy is great. In it, you decide what rejection you are afraid of & face it. I was afraid people would say no when I ask them to hang out. I texted a dozen people I hardly know and said I need to hangout. Some said yes, some said no and I had the best weekend of my life since I hung out with 3 people who I never hung out with before, The rejection was not a big deal.

how did you get so many people to text?
I was afraid people would be too polite so say no to me so they would suffer the torment of my existence.

Mainly people from work or school. 2 who I met on CL.

What do you do when hanging out? I never learned how to hang out in my life.
When people invited me to hang out I almost always rejected them because I didn't know what I would do there. I don't drink, I don't believe in opinions, I don't find things funny unless it's something absurd statements "women have it hard".

What is CL, anon? I'm not familiar?

It is like a fine wine my friend. A wine pleb drinks it and says it tastes ok. A wine enthusiast watches for the smell when it is open, how it coats the glass, and searches for different hints of flavor in the wine. If you aren't interested, dont;t. If you are interested, dissect the experience of spending time with others and enjoy each step of it.

Craiglist.
I tried to date 20 people off it. 2 women eventually met me, One I dated and one didn't want to date. She did meet me though when I texted even though she didnt want to date. :)

ah, silly me, I should have guessed craigslist.
What was your experience like with them, OP?

Amazingly good. I tried a dozen attemps but didn't meet. Just chatted online. Then met a chick & hung out a few times and then slept with her without a condom. It was amazing. We slept together 20 times. I wasn't feeling it after a few months but would have married her if she asked at the beginning. It is not perfect but overall pretty enjoyable. I didn't dump her but stopped hanging out with her & she dumped me. I was really hurt but wanted her to do that.

Good on you for getting out there, anon.
I know the feeling of being ready for it to end, but that never makes it feel easy, does it?
>>27621598
Nah. I treated her badly because we were too different. I would stay up really late with her and then hardly sleep before work. She worked different hours & spent lots of money while I was very cheap. I dreaded seeing her but shen she ended it, it was like a kick to the chest.

nice 69, checked
did she really try to adjust her sleep schedule for you?

See, this is something that I completely agree with but find it hard to put into practice. It's not the act of getting rejected that gets to me, I can usually end up laughing about that or just not caring at all, it's the post-rejection state that bothers me. It's everyone else knowing I got rejected when I only have so much social capital in the first place. I had it set in my head that when I got back from winter break I was gonna ask out that qt that I see on campus and talk to every couple of days, but now we're already back from spring break and I still haven't done anything. I know that the rejection wouldn't be too bad, but I just can't seem to force myself to go through with it even though I know I wanna do it.
