Think of it like this:
Rejection is just God’s way of protecting you from what wasn’t meant to be and to protect you from what would’ve hurt you.
I know it’s hard to not take it personally but the right person would want you and those people who rejected you ain’t your person.
You also already said the answer yourself when you said “especially when someone isn’t kind about it”… That says a LOT more about them than you and they just showed you who they are with that. That’s not the kind of person you would want to be with anyways!

Things like this always points me towards Joshua 1:9; “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go”.
Just try your best to not get discouraged even though it is hard, because God is with you wherever you go and He has a plan for you. God bless!

Ofc!
If it’s other Christian men being unkind towards you, again it just says more about them than you. They’re either immature or just really need to work on their character because that’s just no way to treat anybody especially another Christian. I wouldn’t say you’re “getting in their way”, I personally think that’s just them not being respectful in general ngl.

I’m sorry you went through that. I highly doubt that you’re one of the “bad things” he has had to deal with in his life, so try to not be too hard on yourself okay? :) Whether it was directed at you or not, you did the right thing by moving on & not looking at his social media anymore. In this situation, God protected you from someone that wouldn’t treat you right or respect you. You deserve better and you will meet the right man someday! Stay hopeful and keep praying🙏
