In the past, I could shrug of rejections fairly quickly and just focus at doing my best at the next opportunity, but it has become increasingly clear how corrosive these experiences have been. Now every time I see some sort of opportunity, all will to try to seize it is overtaken by some sort of limbic reaction which just makes me want to put the greatest distance possible between me and the woman in question as if she were a deeply malevolent being (which often doesn't seem far from the truth). I can sometimes override this instinct, but never quite summon any enthusiasm in contact attempts, and I believe that this apprehension of mine shines through and diminishes what chances I may have had even further. So I get rejected once more, and the spiral continues … I'm maybe a 5 in looks (but a mentalcel with minor autism) and it truly sucks to ponder that with some initial luck, maybe that spiral would have gone the other way.
