Does rejection piss you off?

Sometimes if I perceive a slight, or somebody's afraid of me or might think I'm a "creep," instead of getting hurt it just really really angers me nowadays, because I don't see why.

Anybody?

Yeah rejection sucks so bad! I hate it to! Lots of times everything will go good and it still don't matter.... There some people i know that i want to become friends with because they are awesome people, but for one reason or another they wont and i really don't see the point of it.....

Yep, I think everybody in the world hates rejection. When I get rejected I too get mad. I guess it just feels like your getting back at someone if you get pissed but it not always the right thing to do.

It often depends if I believe their reason for rejecting me is valid. Also, I rarely if ever have gotten angry over rejection from the opposite sex. However, one guy gives me a bad look and it can set me off.
 
I try to see it as a positive thing.
Think if that person does not like you but went along to do something with you just to be nice.
At least when I get rejected I know how they stand and I won't get disappointed a long
the road when I really find out what that person thinks of me.

Oh it did quite a bit when I was in my teens to early twenties. I was outraged because I didn't understand how people could act toward me like I had the plague when all I wanted was companionship. Nowadays I just get depressed instead. 9 out of 10 times when dealing with new people I expect rejection. Which is just as bad as getting pissed. But I can't help getting the thought in my head "Same old story, just a different crowd".

I agree wtih Serafina. Its just a part of life. Everyone gets rejected at some point, (although I am sure some get rejected a lot more often than others). I admittedly still feel quite hurt and harbour some resentment towards people if I feel they are judging me purely based on the way I look, or a first impression, but I am afraid there is just nothing you can do about it.

Its simply part of the human condition, I think people are naturally distrusting and afraid of each other, and it takes a LOT for someone to identify and be forthcoming to someone that they dont already know. I have noticed that if people can identify with you in someway based on their first impression of you, then you have a greater chance of having friendship extended toward you...

Social class, wealth, and apperance are all factors that we judge each other on, and its our gut feelings that determine how we feel about someone, whether or not we realize it or not...

As for being ignored...its just far easier to deal with life if we all turn a blind eye to the needs of others....

either that or I am just full of crap and have no idea how the world works.....

Rejection hurts, but I've realized that I've unintentionally rejected people and made them feel unwanted myself.

If it's someone I've worked really hard to convey my feelings to, it will shatter me to pieces, no doubt.

If it's someone I just met who isn't receptive (very rare since I rarely go after anyone nowadays due to non-existent self-confidence), then that's fine...I can come out unscathed.

Rejection hurts a lot, because I rarely talk to people irl so when that happens, it makes me feel like I should give up and never talk to anyone again. What I do hate is getting rejected because they misunderstood something I said, which seems to happen very often. ::(:
