At the age of 16, My personal life can be summed up in one sentence, 'a fuck ton of rejections'. Whenever I have potential to gain a lady friend, I always find a way to mess it up. Never making the same mistake but instead making new ones.
I never cared too much before because it was always the girl who instigated in some way or another and I was just trying to go along with the ride. Now however, I have fucked up with the only girl I have ever truly liked and who ticked every box. She is so similar to me that it is almost scary. But me being me, I decided to try to be flirty over text and have most probably put her off (if she was ever put on in the slightest). I have a 100% rejection rate and am surrounded by friends with gfs or some sort of magical power for success with women.
I am sick of it and would like to learn how to care less or ideally get my mind off of it. Can anyone help?
TLDR sick of rejection can anyone help me not care so much?
EDIT: I just want to say thanks to everyone who's commented here; you've all been a big help and given me a lot to think about.
I would just like to clarify that I have never tried anything out of loneliness or desperation. Upon reading 'along for the ride' I can see how I may have implied the latter. I was just trying to articulate that even when the other party showed interest I still managed to mess up. But, hey ho you guys have still been a big help.

Don't care so much by having self validation and real, secure, self confidence. When you accept yourself y don't need others to do it for you and their opinions and rejections mean a lot less. Do esteemable things to gain self esteem.
Probably not exactly the answer you were looking for but there ya go.
Also, your hormones will settle down in a few years and rejection won't taste so bad. The teens can be tough in that regard.
