How do I deal with sadness and pain in short term?

Do a dramatic reading of what you just wrote and play it back to yourself.

Memes aside I'm exactly like you with feelings. I deal with disappointment and sadness really poorly.

Isn't your busy week a good way to distract yourself? I feel like when I'm alone with my thoughts at home, the sadder I get when I think about what could've been.

Try to listen to music for example and try to avoid thinking about her, there isn't a simple magic trick to make the sadness go away. I've been there more times that I can count, sometimes I have even cried by myself because that relieves the pain for me.

Thanks for offering actual advice lmao

Busy week in the sense that I have exams to study for, so I can't really waste my time on useless things. I want to avoid music because music reminds me of her. You're right though, there isn't any shortcut I just need to knuckle up and brute force my way through this shit. I wish I could cry, for some reason I never cried even as a kid, must feel pretty liberating I guess.

Be honest in your head when you think about her. Distract yourself, you need to give your heart time to heal on it's own. Talking about everything with someone you know or anonymously can help.

If you like music, listen to music.
If you like games, play some games.
If you like walking in the forest and poking snails, do that.
You can not skip the amount of time that is needed.

I know this feel lad. Guided meditation and countryside walks always numbs my heartache. Stay strong lad, it gets better.

No worries man. I too got rejected by oneitis about 4 years ago, even after she confessed to liking me, I simply took too long and came across as timid and unassertive. I can honestly say in retrospect, ignoring the pain and gnawing regret, that it was a good thing it happened because it forced me to take a look at myself and work on my faults.

That sucks. It's even worse than my situation because you only have yourself to blame for not getting the girl, the regret must have been horrible to deal with. I can't even begin to imagine

I found out indirectly. Basically she told a mutual friend, with whom I'm very close, something along the lines of "there was someone who showed all signs of being in love with her, but that she didn't want anything to happen between herself and that person". When this mutual friend asked her if that person was me she went all "No not at all, why do you think it's him?". It's more than clear that she was referring to me, though. And lately I've been noticing she's been kind of avoiding me and giving me the cold shoulder, which lends even more credibility to this. I've kind of given up on her but I still have a tiny, millimetric bit of hope that she may be attracted to me, or will be in the future.
