Rejection is a painful thing, and it hurts more when you’ve given it your all. We can face rejection in so many ways.

It can be from family, friends, relationships, or even at work. Now it's one thing to be rejected, and it’s an entirely different thing to be rejected again, especially by the same person.

You can imagine giving your all to a project and then failing. You decide to try out that project again after some time, and it fails again.

Yes! It can be as painful as rejection. Because of rejection, people tend to actually hold back their feelings.

Some will prefer to love from afar because they don’t want to risk losing the friendship they have with this person because of the feelings that they have. So they’d rather die in silence or just hope that everything turns out well for them. 

Maybe this might be why a certain Redditor named u/IneedAnameForReddit8 asked the r/AskReddit community a question, saying, "People of Reddit who ran into the girl that rejected you in the past, how did it go?" As usual, people started commenting and dropping their experiences.

Some ended well, but some got rejected over and over again. Anyway, keep scrolling to check them out.

The question has been dropped!

Just to let you know how much people could relate to this question, the post has close to 11K comments and more than 43K upvotes. Here's what some of redditors had to say:

1. Rejected again because of a home loan

2. This is a truly sad story

3. A therapeutic revelation that can set one free

4. Because the matrix is just an illusion made real

5. Stood me up on Valentine's day and is now my neighbor

6. We met again and are now good friends

7. Yup, that can be very awkward

8. You never truly know where life will take you to

9. You definitely miss all the shots you never take

10. The long game was played here

11. Lol... In the end, it's all about the sandwich

12. Lol... Well, at least it's an "I see you" acknowledge

13. I know you but I choose to ignore

14. Such a bad timing for such revelations

15. That was one hefty dodged bullet

16. When your partner is your all in all

17. Yeah it is because I have a girlfriend now!

18. It is what it is

19. Is that what you get for puking? But it did end well years after

20. I really hope I'm not as lost in life as she is when I'm older

The most intriguing part of all this is that you miss the shots you could have gotten just because you didn’t open up. It’s better to try and fail than to try at all because if you try and fail, you can go back and re-strategize, but if you don’t try at all, you’ll never know.
