I'll chime in with my two cents' worth of empathy. So sorry to hear about your situation, and how much it hurts, because no matter what they say or do that is mean, etc. we still feel the hurt of rejection. Just settle with that hurt for a while; don't run from it. Face it squarely. This is a long process, one in which you will likely cycle through many emotions. The key is to be self-aware through the whole thing, no matter how much it hurts. False band-aids might work temporarily, but they won't get to the deeper wounds that you have suffered. Look deep within yourself for what you feel you need to learn from this, and look inside yourself, and to your friends here and in person, for the strength to carry on one step at a time. Take care.
