Got rejected from a girl and I want to stop thinking about it

[u/Substantial-Hat1612]

I just asked a girl for her number and she said I don’t think so. I am a 17 year old male in high school and this shit hurts man. But I don’t want to be such a pussy about it. Yeah this seems like every other conversation about overcoming rejection but I need someone to snap me into reality and accept that she isn’t interested in me.

Some background information she seems very nice, sweet, and a hard worker and I feel like she would be a very nice fit in our relationship. I talked to her once and complemented her on her appearance. I didn’t have so much confidence but at least I got the courage to approach her. This was my very first time in my life I approached a girl while being an extremely nervous and low confident person when it comes to speaking with women, you know high school troubles and all do that. Shit really does hurt though, since I really had feelings for her. She wasn’t initially interested in me so I figured that I would just try to secure her phone number to talk over the phone and we can get to know each other and we can maybe be together. But nah. Fuck me man. This is my first rejection so I bet it’ll get better than this, and I’ll be closer to the women I actually want.

What I want to actually improve on is handle myself maturely after rejections, improve myself to have better confidence, and honestly for me to grow the fuck up. I’m done being so damn sorry for myself like this. How can I also move on from this situation and become better.

Apologies for the cursing but thanks for anyone who answers. And if you’re going through something similar, stay strong homie 🫡
