There is no calamity in life that falls heavier upon human nature than a disappointment in love. I find it sad that old flames try so hard to get my attention, to the point they plot, with their friends, for revenge. Their revenge is light hearten, compared to the past, and rather immature and I am surprise that any adult would knowingly take part in the sophomoric games.

It really speaks volumes about how your form of interest is rooted in fear. I will be straight up with you, do not take your time to pay attention to what someone you like is interested in, they will disappoint you. If a person cannot respect you for who you are and share in things you like, they are not worth your time….I am telling you from experience. Just be you, and if that is not good enough, there is someone better for you out there.

It is not always easy to maintain such optimistic thinking in response to rejection. Indeed, especially when individuals have become close to one another, feelings may become quite intense. We are mostly accustomed to look upon all opposition, which is not animate as that of the stolid, inexorable hand of indifference, which wears out the patience more than the strength.

Reader, do you know, as I do, what terror those cold people can put into the ice of their questions? How much of the fall of avalanche is in their anger? Of the breaking up of the frozen sea in their displeasure? Whence can all the quarrels, and jealousies, and jars, proceed, in people who have no love for each other, unless from that noble passion, that desire of curing each other of a smile.  The only chance of happiness lies in the isolated companionship of mated souls. I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve.

I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by your, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am northing. My heart does not work, I cannot love. All I want out of life is money. Money can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give it.

Philosophy never had any remedy that can cure an indifferent mind. Indifference is generally the inseparable companion of a weak and imperfect judgment. Indifference is next to hatred and I am sorry, you are not good enough for me. You look very common, you are mean and sneaky and I want nothing to do with you, please leave me alone.

The frigid theories of a generalizing age have destroyed the individuality of man. Social expectations of instant sex can present a challenge to those who want to move gradually into a sexual relationship. What can you do to let another person know that you are not yet ready for sex, or that you want a relationship to progress slowly? It is often helpful to begin by indicating that you find the person attractive.

You can acknowledge your desire for greater sexual intimacy, yet be definite about not being ready. Finally, you can let a partner know what kind of physical contact you want at a given point in the relationship; this can help avoid misunderstandings and reassure the other person. I appreciate your interest in me, but I am not attracted to you enough to want to develop a relationship with you.

Most of us have experience loving someone who does not reciprocate these feelings. Furthermore, we are probably familiar with both sides of this phenomenon of unrequited love. To many people, saying no affects their feelings of self-worth. A person who is rejected may feel unattractive, boring, unsexy, unintelligent, or inherently unlovable. However, all of us experience rejection at some time, because our traits cannot match every person’s preferences.

The vary characteristics that one person finds undesirable may well appeal to another, and the right to choose not to become involved with someone is certainly a right that most people want. Furthermore, in some instances people may reject romantic advances because they are already involved in an intimate relationship with another or because they do not wish to experience a close relationship at that point in their lives.

Although rejection can still be a painful experience, a few strategies may be helpful in dealing with being turned down or rejected. It is important to remember that each of us has worth, regardless of whether all people approve of us. Also, defending yourself to someone who has said no is not likely to be helpful, because being turned down is usually not a criticism but simply an expression of individual preference. Finally, even though rejection may make us want to give up on continued attempts to form close relationships, we can avoid rejection completely only if we isolate ourselves from most kinds of social interaction.

Love, the gay child of sympathy and esteem, is when, attended by delicacy, the only happiness worth a reasonable man’s pursuit, and the choicest gift of Heaven. As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such men and women are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. However, if I do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. In this self-confident boasting, I am not talk as the Lord would, but as a fool. Since many are boasting in the way the World does, I too will boast. You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of your or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face. To my shame, I admit that we were too weak for that!! (I am out of my mind to talk like this.)

I am more. I have worked much harder, been in reformatory more frequently, been flogged more severely, raped, and been exposed to death again and again.  Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from the nations; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers.

I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn? If I must boast, I will boast of things that show my weakness.

To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surprisingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. However, he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong, but my heart will never love you.
