A question to men. I'm assuming men face this more than women

When you put efforts in talking to someone you admire, and the reciprocation is not equal (life is not bed of roses)

How do you handle the hit on your self esteem?

Accept what it is and move on. Stop talking and get yourself working. You can't control others, just control yourself.
You don't need to wonder what ifs and why, you will just waste your time pondering something whereas the other person doesn't even give a cent.
Soz keep it simple.

Those who are genuinely interested in you will make efforts and reciprocate. Those who aren't will expect you to always put in effort, but it can get exhausting.

Upto you to decide who is worth your time.

I have been hit hard on the face where the other person just changed! Maybe due to some personal constraints. Now I am stuck with the fact, where the other person is not willing to message and I want to have the conversation going!
People make efforts for the people they care! So, if they are not reciprocating, it’s better to leave them in their space and move on!

On a serious note, you have to be prepared to take a no. Only 10% of the chances you take will convert. Men aren't used to getting approached, so we know that unless we ask, we won't get anything... Be it a job, a promotion, a hike or a date. The most confident men aren't those who just have the highest testosterone, it is the one who keep trying after they have been rejected but still keep working on their game.

I guess be clear about your priorities. And if nothing works out, visit Haridwar or start with the Jyotirlingas. Atleast thats my way to be on ground with reality
