Example
Mattβs fear of rejection was running his life. He wouldnβt ask people out, wouldnβt apply for roles he was qualified for, and hated even sending back food at restaurants. Inspired by Jia Jiangβs Rejection Therapy challenge, he made a list of low-stakes rejections to seek out β asking for a discount at Starbucks, requesting a tour of a warehouse store. Some were awkward. Some were surprisingly successful. But most importantly, he stopped seeing βnoβ as a reflection of his worth. He now runs a small business and says his comfort with rejection is his best asset.
