    people always says it sucks to be rejected, but rejecting someone when you're a people pleaser is so hard.

    • @hp2546
      @hp2546 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      This situation also gets that people pleaser in a trapped situation to cheat as well. Imagine if the next person were to ask you out while you were having a current fiance. You will end up getting stuck cheating on your fiance. What if you were currently married and someone else comes to you and ask you out? You will be stuck cheating on your spouse only to please someone else. So by not knowing how to reject, people can take advantage of you and put peer pressure on you to cheat on your current fiance. If you have a hard time saying no to 1 person, you may not be trained to say no to multiple people.

      @@hp2546 I agree, but in a situation where youre single but not interested it sucks when you don't want to hurt their feelings

      ​@@Nyxx0010 Once you say yes, you are classified as taken. So what happens if a next person asked you out. That example is more like you will be stuck with 2 difficult choices. Either reject that person to stay faithful to your current fiance or cheat on your current fiance to please a next person. That is why in order not to be stuck is to never commit to anything you are not ready for. Even people who is single can still use a white lie claiming to be married or taken. If a stranger were to ask you out, you can still claim to be taken. Makes no difference if you are married or single. You still don't want to lead them on giving them false hope of relationship. If you fall for a sad puppy face, this is exactly how they control you regardless if you are married or single. There is a reason why there is no need to have sex with that person if you aren't even attracted to that person. They will feel used.

      Yeah a friend of mine asked me out and I was so flustered I was just like No and I tried to be nice but it was awkward, well he called me a bi*ch and was just being a jerk. I rejected him because he says really weird things about me to his friends. One of my friends who is also his friend told me all the things he said which made me uncomfortable. He got over it and we are still friends.

    I watched multiple videos about how to nicely let somebody down, but when I texted her (I can’t see her irl rn) my rejection letter, which I made as nicely as possible, she got hella pissed and just yelled and told me she was leaving and not coming back, and I’ve tried to talk and calm her down saying that she can talk to me, or maybe she should talk to her friends but she won’t reply, and idk wut the heck to do.

      People feeling crushed is beyond your control. All you can do is reject politely. If they don't take no for an answer, then you know it is not our job to please them. So a way for you to be honest is to tell them sorry not my type. At least that isn't lying. That person is not your type. Giving too many reasons will only sound like sugarcoating. So if these people looks for an excuse to be entitled, it means they were hoping you will give in to a sad puppy face. You can stick to what is your job which is help them with hw but all these personal issues, not your job. You can say sorry not your responsibility. If it is not your job, don't do that job.

    as a quiet, introverted person, I never thought I would be here again. I used to have quite a few friends a few years ago, and someone ended up saying they liked me, and I had to reject him, because from what I knew, I only liked girls; he went from a friend that day to straight up ignoring me when I’d try to talk to him. From then, I ended up back to my introverted ways, and I hardly ever talk, besides to some people I’d might consider friends, but even then, I’m still awkward and just in general don’t like talking very much, and just don’t know how to continue a conversation. Nearing the end of the school year, I’m still very introverted, but have been slowly opening up to a possible friend group, with 2 girls and a guy. We have only talked for a few months, and even then, only talked when we would play games in class, but have recently went out to a party where me and the guy spent the most amount of time together, since the 2 girls in the friend group were much more extroverted, and had other friends; where as I only had just the friend group. The guy in our kind of friend group, has just sent me a text saying he likes me, and that was the one thing that made me feel absolutely horrible. I have like a a feeling of emptiness in my stomach, and just don’t know how to tell him that I don’t feel the same at all. He’s funny and a good friend, yet this was the one thing I thought I would never have to come across again. Not only do I not know how to reject him, but from what I think I know, I don’t even like men in general, and am only attracted to women.
    I can’t even begin to explain the self-hatred I feel towards myself. I’ve been crying, and want to just undo all the progress I thought I made. I hate myself.
    TL;DR (too long; didn’t read):
    A guy friend as taken a likening to me, even though I only see him as a friend, and I’m only attracted to women. I don’t know how to reject him, as a very introverted person, who as long as I’ve known him had only began to be more open. Turns out, being the quiet person would’ve been better, as everyone ignored me and I didn’t have to worry about things like this ever happening.
    Update: I forgot about this comment, so thanks to the person who liked it, a few days after I posted this, I gained the courage to send a simple text saying I didn’t feel the same and just wanted to stay friends. Shortly after he said it was just a joke and laughed about it. I intentionally hurt myself and cried for hours after that. I’m convinced that no one I ever meet in life will understand my pain, struggles, and thoughts.

    Well, I've found that it really doesn't matter if I say it straight up, or I try to sugar coat it with a rehearsed dialogue, in the end rejection is always hurtful to an extent and people will react to it with different intensity but 99% of the times, the chick will simply stop talking to me, because people don't want to be "just friends" with someone they really like, and it sucks being around them when you know that person is off limits.
    Unless I have something to lose along with that friendship, I'm always ready for the bridge to burn and to be honest, cutting contact cold turkey is sometimes the best for both parties when such feelings get in the mix.

Where they've been flirting with me physically, but nothing was being spoken, and where I hoped they'd catch on to me not flirting back would be enough, but she seems to just be getting more and more flirty. And being the first to speak up and say no is not my strong point atm. So the example you gave of what to say really helps. Now I just need to run it through my head and gather some courage.

    I’m 12, I had the BIGGEST crush on this dude, last year. I was in fifth grade and head over heels for him, more than I ever did for any other dudes I kinda liked. I did everything for him, but he eventually dated my best friend about the end of the year… (Yikes)
    They dated until sixth grade. I was heart broken for the longest time. But, like most people, I slowly got over him.
    But of course, like most elementary relationships, they broke up. Well, my bestie dumped him after months of ignoring him. She said something along the lines of, “He’s kinda weird and always guilt tripping me.”
    I was kinda mad at her because me and my ex-crush became great friends during the time when she ignored him. I couldn’t understand why she was being such a bad girlfriend, because I saw that he was trying to make her happy.
    So yeah, they broke up. We became even closer and texted everyday. I remember still liking him when they were still dating. But after getting closer with him, I literally couldn’t see him anything more than just a friend. I matured and learned about myself more. (And I grew some mental problems and wouldn’t be able to handle dating anyway.)
    He grew feelings for me. He gave me hints, such as pickup lines, but always ends up with, “JK.”
    I would laugh at them and even call him “bro” or “dude” so he knows I only see him as those. I’ve always been insecure about myself so I didn’t actually think he liked me. I just wanted to make sure, though.
    WELP, he confessed to be through text a few days ago. I said, “I’ll think about it.” Even though I a,ready knew my answer… Like there’s layers to it, he’s my friends ex, he’s like a bro to me, and I wasn’t looking for a relationship. I was planning on telling him in person, but got frustrated because HE’D SEND ME 20 HEART EMOJIS EVERY 5 MINUTES AND SEND ME LOVE POEMS EVEN WHEN I KEPT SAYING, “Bro, Im thinking ‘bout it.”
    They were sweet but he was moving on way too fast. I felt uncomfortable and decided to just reject him right then and there. I wish I rejected him in person but I couldn’t handle anymore poems. But the thing is, he was guilt trip me. Every time I try to say, “I’m thinking ‘bout it,” he’d say stuff like, “I’m depressed again,” or, “Ima go kill myself now.”
    And I was scared, I truly cared for him HONESTLY! So I couldn’t handle having panic attacks and end up saying, “Don’t be! I’m thinking about it but we definitely have a chance.”
    I know I kept getting his hopes up but I was scared. And I finally understood why my friend dumped him and said that he was try to make her feel guilty.
    I finally rejected him along the lines of, “I’m sorry, but I’m not looking for a relationship and I truly hope we could stay amazing friends.”
    Afterwards I threw my phone and couldn’t help feeling AWFUL!
    I wanted to cry because I was scared, insecure, anxious, and overall felt like I was a bad person. I wondered if I made the right choice, and if I was the one is the wrong. I was terrified that he might actually harm himself because of me and I was just a mess.
    Sorry for this stupid long essay but I just needed to go on a rant. T^T
