I've faced a LOT of rejection lately. Either girls tell me they have boyfriends, they don't respond to my calls/texts, I get shut down when talking to them, etc. etc. etc. I know, none of this is a big deal and it's all apart of the ride. The best get rejected all the time.

But it gets to me from time to time. I feel discouraged and frustrated. I haven't had sex in a few months so there's that factor that may be contributing to a good amount of my frustration. People have told me that I should significantly lower my standards for a bit and sleep with some less attractive girls to get my mojo back.

Going out to meet new girls can help, but it's risky. Why? Because if I'm feeling down from a lot of rejection, I'm putting myself in a position to get rejected even more, and that can just make it worse. And as we all know, when this all gets to your head, it fucks up your game badly. It's a vicious cycle.

So, seddit, what do you do when you feel down? How do you pick yourself back up? I would appreciate some honest answers. Please no "I never feel that way because I am awesome" kind of stuff. We all have our highs and our lows. By putting forth an effort to meet new girls and escalate with them, we are putting ourselves in a pretty vulnerable position. And that is a good thing.

Edit: Yeah, got 3 rejections today. 2 no-replies, and 1 girl who canceled on a date with me tell me she's getting back with her ex. So I definitely need a good pick-me-up. I don't mean to make this a pity party, just trying to stay positive. Thanks for the comments everyone.
