How to overcome the pain of rejection

I’m not sure if this is appropriate to post here, but I’m desperate for some wisdom and advice. I’ve been so lonely lately. I’m 24 f, I’ve been single for 4 years. And tonight I just got rejected by someone I really liked. This is the second time I’ve ever felt genuine feelings for someone over the past 4 years.

I can’t sleep and I keep reflecting and it sucks. I’m hitting a low and I just want it to stop. I feel so scared to open myself up and the times I do... even just a little... just backfire.

I wish I could make this better for myself with some magic antidote, but ultimately rejection hurts. I can focus on other things but the pain is still there, similar to when getting injured. I have to wait it out I guess. it just brings back everything in times like this. All the heartbreak. I’ve been focusing on myself so much, and yet even just letting someone in just a little bit results in this. It’s disheartening, it’s so hard.

I feel like it’s always like this. I get a glimpse of something amazing with someone and then it just... ends. Whatever the reason, I haven’t felt like people have had the patience to get to actually know me and give us a chance before moving on, or away.
