"Rejection is part of life"

[Jonn]

That game is rage-inducing. You are offering a deflection, haha.

Off-topic:

My frustration threshold is quite low, but surprisingly, I didn't have many rage-events in this game.
Hard but engrossing.

Its a wonder all autists dont develop BPD, considering the inevitable instances of childhood rejection. Perhaps it depends on traits of alexithymia or neuroticism in each individual. Certainly psychiatrists are known to have confusion between distinguishing ASD and BPD.

The fact every girl I expressed interest in when I was in middle school/high school didn't reciprocate could explain why rejection stings as an adult.

It would benefit you if you could move on from your traumatic past.
Difficult, but it can be done, based on personal experience.

BTW:
Are you targeting the wrong type of romantic interests?

"Wrong" type of romantic interests is a subjective term.

With the rate at which I've been rejected, however, I suppose some might say I have a track record of targeting the "wrong" type of romantic interests.

What are the parameters when it comes to your romantic interests?
Have we discussed this before?
It seems to ring a bell.

You are not interested in procreation, if I recall correctly.

I think we can all agree that the words "known to police" indicate the type of person you don't really want to go on a date with.

Right, I'm not interested in procreation.

My parameters have changed through the years.

Fair enough.

The first thing that popped into my head was that perhaps "wrong" means going for those who are out of your league.

That would definitely be me. Or as my cousin once said, "You have a broken picker."

I'm not happy about it, but neither can I deny it. That in hindsight, the momentum of them choosing me seemed more apparent than when I chose them.

That's what makes it fun. Why take the easy road?

In my case, it doesn't help that I'm a lot more comfortable asking out a total stranger than asking out a woman I actually know.

I've had some degree of success (I will spare the details on the forum) with an 8/10 (back in 2021). An 8/10 is out of my league.

Yet I've been turned down by many with worse looks than 8/10.

Go figure.

I'm weird I guess in that I'm not turned on by looks so much as personality. A woman who swaps Star Trek memes with me? Hawt!
