Stand up and try to be joyful because rejection isn't the end of the world. Continue to converse with him as normal. It must be tough for you to approach him again after he rejected you, but don't worry! Just like any other relationship, you can't force communication on someone else. If he doesn't want to talk to you, then he's not going to talk to you. The only way for him to stop you from contacting him is if you stop contacting him. He may say things to you in anger or frustration that are hurtful, but as long as you walk away from them without responding, they won't affect you anymore. Remember that breaking up is hard to do, but it's better for both of you if you stay apart until you can think clearly again. If he told you something personal about himself that you feel compelled to tell others, then by all means, do so. But remember that you aren't really helping him by revealing secrets about him. This person is just like everyone else, and they have a right to their own privacy. You should keep secrets too. Don't tell anyone anything about another person if you don't want them to tell others. Finally, remember that you cannot change other people's minds, so there's no use in trying.
