How do you guys handle rejection sensitivity
Hi i know im not allowed to add a D but i am really struggling with rejection. Im divorced M34 and I'm starting to seek new relations be it friend or more and I've had some real deep talks with people and I sent a picture of me to one woman I was flirting with and communication. Stopped. It was in the middle of the night so I convinced myself she fell asleep, but she has been taking longer and longer to respond and it's been two days now and I try not to message more than once or two times a day... But I can see she's been online today and I feel so wrecked. Ive had the urge to start drinking and self harm though i haven't had since I was a teen. Logic tells me she's probably busy because I know her life is hectic, but if dating life is gonna be like this I don't know how I'm ever gonna escape this loneliness.
TL;Dr
Get real bad thoughts when people don't answer my messages after a while how do I deal?
