. I mean, wouldn't we want to avoid the pain and suffering if it was that easy? But at the same time, isn't that kind of thinking a bit too simplistic? Like, can't rejection be bad for us sometimes? 
. It's like, what if it's just easier to avoid the pain and stick with what we're comfortable with? Is that really a bad thing? 
! I mean, think about it, when you're on Tinder and swipe right but they don't match, you could get all salty or what? 
But instead, try to see it as a chance to learn more about yourself and the other person 
. Like, maybe they were just not feeling that spark 
. And who knows, maybe the next time around will be different
