Rejection

NAS89090

Does anyone have any tips for getting over a rejection from someone you really liked? I literally never ask anyone out and now I feel really embarrassed that I’ve been rejected and feel a bit stupid for mixing up the social cues (all my friends said he was displaying clear signs he liked me as well, many of whom are not autistic and so find interpreting social cues easier).

  • I know it might sound strange but try to take yourself out of it it's not really much to do with you. Imagine you like chocolate cake and someone else does not like chocolate cake, it has nothing to do with the cake, people just have different tastes in things. You should feel proud of yourself for shooting your shot. I did the same thing once and was rejected and I felt sad about the life I'd imagined with this person not coming true but still proud of myself for saying something, it's a lot easier not to. I let myself be sad for a bit and then just felt grateful that we managed to communicate with one another and I could move on. I wouldn't want to love someone who doesn't love me. I'm chocolate cake.
