What’s the point? Speaking as someone who just experienced their first rejection, it’s not worth being petty or nasty over. You can cultivate a friendship or learn valuable lessons from the experience. Taking a negative mindset in the aftermath of rejection is fine, but don’t let that negativity turn to nastiness or vindictiveness.
This comes after I rejected a man in his mid-thirties. I politely told him, “Hey, I appreciate how patient and understanding you’ve been with me lately, but I don’t think things would work out between us.” His response was to tell me, “yeah, red flags abound.” Then he blocked me everywhere. There’s no need to be rude in the face of rejection.
Also, some more advice based on this experience: if you’re still living with your ex and every story you tell involves her, maybe you’re just not ready to date.
Edit: ITT: people who think it’s okay to be rude and mean because you were rejected, also people salty towards me because they’ve been rejected a few times. Go eat a Snickers.
