I used to believe that but after being rejected by girl after girl after girl I'm totally heartbroken and in shambles. I'm even scared to smile at a girl anymore.

Approaching and talking to girls was almost no problem before, but once I realized that I basically have 0 options with women I became tremendously crippled and viciously afraid of doing any more advances because more rejection would destroy me further. I would've been okay if I had some success, but when every girl dumps you within a week you tend to get hopeless and the "regret is worse than rejection" becomes an untrue statement.

I would've understood if I was like 18 and average or ugly, but I'm 21 and not average or ugly and I have tried more than most of my peers and they have relationships and I don't. It's sad. I'm really looking for good advice.

I guess I would rather not have approached those girls and still had some hope than what I got now.

Depends.

If you get rejected a thousand times then it's worse than regret.

But if you try once or twice and fail and just ldar then it's different

for the latter the way i see it regret is not rejecting girls as revenge

Not really. When I don't do something, I completely forget about it the next day. I still remember all of my brutal rejections from years ago.

also, rejection is far worse. it hits way harder than regret. with regret, you can at least have false hopes and think maybe you stood a chance, but with a rejection reality hits you so hard that you realize it was better to have been dealing with regret as you could still have false hopes about it.

Regret will always be worse and gets worse in the long run. Rejection may suck for a while though

het is beter om te doen geloven dat je misschien een kans had dan te horen krijgen dat je nooit een kans krijgt :feelsrope:
Nee spijt krijgen is altijd erger want ook al heb je valse hoop het blijft continu bijten aan je zelfs met die hoop. Geweigerd worden is wel harder op het moment zelf daar heb je gelijk in

tl;dr: is it better to regret not taking a chance with a female or is it better to be rejected by said female

ja ik bedoelde welke komt harder aan en dat is een afwijzing. op lange termijn leer je er mee te leven maar doet het alsnog pijn. ik heb zelf liever valse hoop.

Valse hoop moet echt een hele goeie reden zijn tbh. Je brein is slimmer dan je denkt. :)

Better to regret for me. Most girls arent worth the rejection. And unless ur autistic u can tell whether a girl.is interested in u or not withlut words.

It truly depends on how your brain works, if you are a sensitive person, rejection may traumatize you to the point of not wanting to try anymore. The ideal mindset, imo, is to be neutral and as rational as possible; in other words, take rejection as mere experience that will be useful for the next try. But that is very hard for humans, cause we often cant handle our emotions properly.

Rejection is worse in the moment; regret is worse in the long run.

Bro ook al is wageslaven cucked. Werkervaring is altijd een must vooral als je in een nieuwe sociale setting komt. Dan kun je namelijk tegen de druk

By end of the day regrets will creep in under your skin and will eat you out unless you acchieve something or acquire some good coping resourse to balance it. Once you realise your bright days of youth are past, may God help you to find something wild to remember.
