Grab your popcorn and sit tight—you’re about to read something fun (if by “fun,” you mean soul-crushing). What follows isn’t just a list of rejections. It’s a saga of heartbreak, of lessons learned the hard way—four of them, all in the span of a year. The kind of stuff you could make a movie out of… if that movie was about pain.
First Rejection:
I thought it was finally my time. Met this girl at uni, and she was into me. We’d talk, walk, laugh—everything was lining up. I even did some background checks—no boyfriend in sight. So, one day I muster up the courage to ask her out.
Her response? “Ayo, this ain’t your first rejection anyways, so why you overreacting?” That hit me like a freight train. She had no idea how deep that cut went. It was my first rejection of the year, and I thought there were plenty of fish in the sea. But no, turns out the sea’s full of fish that don’t want me.
• Damage: 3/5
• Self-beating: 3.5/5
• Crying: 1/5
• Time span: 3 weeks
• What I learned: Only go for girls who show interest.

Second Rejection:
This one’s a painful lesson in never trusting what you see. I met a girl at uni—top 5 best looking I’d ever seen. Straight hair, tall, lean, and she had this elegance, like a female peacock. And the IOIs? Through the roof: fixing her hair, smiling, long eye contact, open body language—she was all over me. I thought I finally had a chance.
So I used a mutual friend to get her number and started texting her, keeping it cool, not needy. I felt like things were finally going my way.
But then, I found out her boyfriend was the one pretending to be her in the texts. Yeah. Her boyfriend. And he threatened me after I dissed her using blackpill lingo. My heart was crushed. Blocked them both, and moved on.
• Damage: 4/5
• Self-beating: 5/5
• Crying: 1.5/5
• Time span: 2 months of IOIs, 3 days of texting.
• What I learned: IOIs don’t always mean what you think they mean.

Third Rejection:
By this point, I was tired. Sick of rejection. So I read a thread on instamaxxing and thought, why not? After 6 years off the platform, I rejoined Insta and started following some old classmates.
That’s when I reconnected with my first ever love—my first girlfriend. The girl who used to make my heart race. She starts liking all my posts, every story. Even uses the same emojis as me. I was mogging every guy she followed, feeling like I had her in the bag.
So I hit her with, “You look like Gio Scotti,” thinking it’d be a cute compliment. Her reply? One word: “thanku.” And then, she unfollowed me. Silent rejection.
I was crushed, but it wasn’t as embarrassing as it could’ve been. Still, it stung deep—because she was my first love, and I’d foolishly let my heart hope.
• Damage: 3/5
• Self-beating: 4.5/5
• Crying: 2/5
• Time span: 3 weeks
• What I learned: Never approach, but the heart always does what it wants anyway.

Fourth Rejection (The One That Still Hurts):
This one… it’s fresh. Yesterday, actually. There was this girl on Instagram who showed a ton of interest. She initiated the conversation, guys. I thought I had it in the bag. But then, I made the mistake of thinking she was using AI to text me. Yeah, I know. I confronted her, and when she asked why, I left her on read for five days. Five.
She didn’t unfollow me, so I thought maybe I could recover. I sent, “I’m not used to girls being this smooth.” And now? Ghosted for 15 hours. Her follower count’s gone up. Mine’s stayed the same.
So yeah… I did it. I impulsively unfollowed her, and now there’s actual moisture in my eyes for the first time in years. I thought it wouldn’t get to me, but it’s hitting harder than I expected. Maybe I made the right call, maybe I didn’t. Either way, it’s done now, and I’m hurting. Bad. Like, breakup bad.
• Damage: 4/5
• Self-beating: 5/5
• Crying: 6/5 (I’m breaking the scale here.)
• Time span: 1 month
• What I learned: Org is my friend. And I am org’s friend.

So there you have it. Four rejections, four life lessons. If anyone’s looking to make a movie, hit me up. I’ve got the screenplay ready.
Happy suffering,
Starve.
