    “I need to improve myself” or “I’m just not his/her type I’ll find someone.”

    Hm… the only thing I can remember thinking after having been rejected was “phew, that didn’t work out, but glad I tried!” and moved on with my life. That… might be more to do with the general dissociation that I’m starting to realize has been a major theme in my life.

      That’s definitely not normal. Most people feel some kind of negative emotion in response to any kind of rejection.

        I think it’s okay to not feel negative to rejection either. In fact, it is more normal to be mildly disappointed and move on.
