Probably being rejected. I mean, both are bad, but the former definitely is much worse.
If you are rejected explicitly, you know there’s no chance. With the latter, they might break up and maybe you can become lovers. It’s fairly easy to manipulate someone when they are emotionally vulnerable. Not that I am saying you should do that, just information.
There’s peace in rejection though. You can move on with your life and stop obsessing over a slightly ajar door when the door is actually closed. There is nothing more stressful in the world than uncertainty. Closure is the best peace anyone can give to anyone else.
