I wanted to knock my rejection out right away so when I was at the Caltrain station, I was looking for opportunities to get rejected. Then I spied a guy eating a croissant and decided to ask if I could have some. Who gives strangers a piece of their croissant? He kind of looked at me funny and pointed at the coffeeshop where he got it, but I insisted that I wanted a piece of HIS croissant. When he asked “just a little piece?” my heart sank. He ended up giving me his croissant. I had to eat it, smile, and then slowly back away. FAILED REJECTION!
Weird..
"This just seems like you are being creepy, a jerk or self-entitled. I appreciate getting out of your comfort zone in an effort towards self-improvement, but I wonder if you could push yourself to do so in a way that also contributes to society."
I've been trying to get more meaningful rejections (see the edit I made at the end just now for an example) but at the same time, I'm going to make sure I get rejected every day. I've committed to the challenge and I won't back down now.
Real rejection is hard. Find out, by going to Facebook, and send a really heartfelt message to that girl you always had feelings for but never told. Find out what real rejection is.
Not necessarily. How often have we seen people not offer assistance to a needy stranger? Or pay someone a compliment? Or say hello to a complete stranger? We don't because we might not get a response we expect.
Rejection attempts should always be a win/win, or at the very least completely harmless, and Jason demonstrated that.
Go to a popular bar. Find a table where there are no seats but more women than men (ideally all women). Find a chair that is empty (ideally on the opposite side of the room) and drag it all the way calmly (loudly, of course) to the table. Smile, sit down, start a conversation with the group
