We’ve discussed rejection therapy before, where you seek rejection from someone every day.
It’s a great mechanism to help you overcome your fear of rejection.
Enduring rejection over and over again will desensitize you to it.
Practice rejection with possible outcomes that won’t backfire and make you less inclined to do anything.
It also helps to acknowledge rejection as a real possibility before you risk it.
Ask for Feedback the First Time
Asking for feedback can also give you the upper hand.
Focus on slowing down your speech and body movements a bit.
This will make you appear more confident and contemplative.
It will also help calm you down if you are nervous.

Don’t be a Stranger
Keep in touch with the person on the other end.
However, sometimes it’s just not meant to be.
If it works out, awesome!
