Rejection Therapy

Today I watched a Ted video about Rejection Therapy.

Fear always beats us. And our imagination is always scarier than the reality.

Prepared of being rejected, he actually tends to get good results from others. It turns out that humans are beautiful things.

It reminds me of something happened to me. When I reject someone, I also feel quite sorry and even ashamed that I can't help, because I really want to help people. And the feeling that I'm not able to help beats me.

On one trip I was asked by a stranger to borrow my fruit juice to her. She just asked, can I drink your juice? I was very surprised but I didn't give a second thought to give my juice to her. She looks thirsty and my juice is not that expensive. Vice versa, I wouldn't dare to do such things to others. Two things surprise me: 1. Her boldness. 2. My generous Reaction.

So once you take the first step, things may be different than you expected.

I do it also sometimes. Like I ask the guy at the restaurant if there is some party going on tonight. I just want some fun but he took it quite seriously. But it's fun anyway.

I will try something more for the next time I go to restaurant or cafe.
