Hey /b/.
I know I'm looking at this from a far too short sighted point of view, but I just can't agree with the old sentiment that it's better to try and fail than never try.
Rejection really, really hurts.
Any oldfags got any input from their experiences?
>>744067078
you are weak
>>744067078
Meh. Win some, lose some. Play the game. Retire at some point after you get tired of fucking and drama. Get some cats.
If you never try, you never succeed, simple as that.
Try being 10 or 20 years older than you are currently and still never having succeeded at whatever it is you want. Then you'll realize how dumb you're being.
If you don't learn from those mistakes then your mentality is absolutely correct. While failure does suck and hurts when it happens repeatedly, if you learn from those mistakes the odds that the next thing you try results in that same mistake will be a lot lower. It's a shitty way to accomplish things but there's no real easier way in life to go about it.

I honestly used to be able to take it in much better humour.
Wondering what could've been hurts even worse imo. At least with rejection you know the answer.
How about you don't give a shit in the first place so it doesn't really matter if you win or lose?

>>744068916

>be guy
>never cooked in his life
>doesnt waste his time trying to do shit he's obviously not great at
>does something he is great at
>become greater at that thing
>dont be distracted by unnessecary failures
>>744067078

Your mom? Cause she is making dumb noises under my table again.
Read this OP
>>744069883
Haha but asking yourself "what if?" Doesnt hurt like the memory of rejection.
>>744067078
MiddleAgeFag here. Say you want to play tennis, but can't because it hurts so much to lose. Choose to react differently, and play as much as you like.
Same thing for women, exams, job interviews, etc. We all have to make a conscious decision as to how we react to anything. Forget about the pain of rejection-- don't give defeats a second thought.
Your dog would advise you to carry on doing whatever you were doing when she caught your eye. Analyzing and agonizing is a mug's game.
There's no shame in being rejected. And even if there were... so what? You'll wake up one day and be FIFTY. That's how it works. All of the anxiety you create over inconsequential crap is a waste of time. You should be enjoying Life.
So, go play the game and forget the losses immediately. That's what your dog would do. And he probably gets laid a lot.
If he still has his balls, I mean.
Sounds like you're just a massive vagina OP. Have fun never doing anything.

>live your life like a dog
Wtf is that advice you idiot? Are you a negroid convict?
>>744070494
It's the regrets that sting once you're old. Not the rejections because they'll just be a footnote in your life
>>744069325
>doesn't try something new
>assumes himself a fuckup at something he's never tried
fucking beta-fags, i swear
>>744070494
Until you become alpha and start getting laid

>>744070683
I'm 35 years old and i dont regret a single time i didnt go for something. I regret a lot of times i went for something and failed.
>>744070761
>does think you can just start something and be good at it
>doesnt realize talent only exists in his head and you only improve if you invest time
You are construction-worker aren't you?
>>744071076
You're not old enough
>>744070901
So are you?
>>744070846
Which wont happen in this life.

>>744069402
For the past 3-4 months I have been acting like a little beta.
Any woman worth dating is already taken, why bet your money on a horse you know is going to lose. To put it simply, it's over.
>>744071242
You think asking a woman out = rape?
Found the feminist.
>>744071438
No i think you are a criminal negroe for advising people to live like dogs. Please learn to read.
You can't always have what you want. That's life, get used to it.

Regretting not making a move is much worse than getting rejected. If you get rejected you don't lose anything. There was never a possibility for something there. If you regret something you can't timetravel and make it different. Its not hard just fucking USE UR BRAIN FUCKWAD
I wish someone told me before it happened

I can't get if that is sarcasm or not
There was a 50 year old guy posting these pics of his child sized doll that he made sound like he didn't fuck. That guy swam through an internet river of cancerous shit and for what? Just for his and others entertainment of his weird hobby. In life it's always better to be able to just not give a shit and do you.
