Jia Jiang is famous for trying to get rejected as much as possible for 100 days, and he mostly learned it's harder than you think to get rejected
Things he tried:
-Asking a stranger to borrow $100
-Asking for a "burger refill" at Five Guys
-Asking to speak over the Costco intercom
-Asking for Olympic ring-shaped donuts at Dunkin
-Asking to plant flowers in a stranger's yard
-Asking to ride in a police car
-Asking to take a video of him playing soccer in someone's yard
In most cases even if people said no they still at least tried to help him in some way, because the "no" was mostly about concrete constraints
Rejection is rarer and typically far more gentle than you're expecting

for your own sake, you genuinely have to believe in the theory of infinite abundance
for every lost love, missed opportunity, blown chance & failed test, there’s always a future substitute of equal or greater value
this is the only rational way to trick yourself into getting the most out of life
Hard agree. You’re also exposing yourself to a lot of trash you’d prob never encounter otherwise. Meeting people organically and building connections with ppl you encounter in your day to day often leads to finding ppl ur naturally more aligned with and have more in common with.
