Which is worse in your opinion?

I asked this somewhere else..

Letting someone know how you feel about them and getting rejected or....the thought of never knowing what could've happen.

I would have to say the latter..

 

Another very introspective question by Raul.

I'm a punk...so I'm gonna say the former...I aint built for rejection...I may just go O.J. on a group of people.

Emotional pain is the worst pain.:cry:

 

I can accept if somebody chooses the second, but I`ll never understand.

Life is so short, if somebody important crosses your way and I wouldn´t take the chance, I would blame myself my whole life..

Rejection, it hurts, yes, but then you know that this person wasn´t the right one for you. Thoughts and imaginations are nothing to touch, nothing to live, nothing to experience and nothing to remember.

I want the real life, I want to feel, if it´s now pain, love or passion.. I want all of it.

So, as I already mentioned and proved... I want to know.

 

Agreed. I've come to the point in my life that I'd rather put myself out there and know for sure, one way or the other.

To say what you want is nothing embarrassing.. it shows self-confidence.

When you feel something special for somebody else- it´s a compliment, not an offence..

 

If only other people saw it that way. I've seen some cruel rejections in my day. The ppl of wwbm community probably have been on both sides of those meetings.

 

Very true

 

For sure, I think you have to see the signs, before you open your heart to somebody. But then you should risk.

And let´s be honest, what serious can happen? A rejection is not nice, but we all know, what different, really horrible things can happen to each of us every day.. so why do you fear this "small hurt" that much?

 

This:

the thought of never knowing what could've happen

 

Agreed.. I think the things you do regret in the end are NOT the things you did do, but the things you didnt do.
The thought of never knowing - it could have been something big....

 

nice posts...keep it coming

 

The not knowing would kill me. I would prefer to put myself out there and be rejected than to walk around with the "what if's" hanging over my head.

 

I'm going to say the latter Raul. I missed too many chances with too many cute girls...being rejected is no fun, but not knowing is worse.

 

I would prefer to let her know how I feel about her.

 

being in this situation a few months back I wiould have to say the former. However in my situation it was a slightly different playbook. I have always heard it is better to have love and lost than to never love at all.

 

lippy is all about putting herself out there and getting rejected it part of it...sure it stings a little but always worth the risk...i am far too along in life for regrets:smt049

 

I guess I would want to know, so I guess I'd try, even though I'm afraid of rejection.

 

Lippy = Rejector
Lippy Admirer = Rejectee

that is sooooooooooooo not true...lippy will pick you up at the airport:smt050

 

Don't be Afraid

Not knowing is worse. We all have regrets, and those come from the things we never did, no matter how easy or hard they might have been. You have to admit that a lot of rejection happens with people you don't even really know, and in that case, why do you let people whom you don't even know that well get to you. IN the cases where you might have gotten to know someone a bit and get rejected, well, don't take it so personal. We have become this society of overtly sensitive people, when somebody says or doesn't say something, are feelings are all hurt...it's gotten the point where people go to quite extreme measures to be noticed, or in some cases, exact revenge or teach a lesson...man I need to lighten up, we all need to lighten up a bit.
