How to Handle Rejection When Asking for What You Want

This week, I get into the number one thing that holds people back from asking for what they want: fear of rejection.

I'll share the psychology around the fear of rejection and why building up a tolerance to get rejected is the fastest way to build meaningful connections, ironically!

Episode snippets:

Most people aren't sitting around dissecting your asks in group chats (that's your insecurity talking)
When someone says "not right now" or doesn't respond, they're usually just busy living their own complicated life
You're making it about you when it's probably about their capacity, timing, or circumstances
How to gamify rejection and learn to use it as data
The importance of having safety nets when shooting your shot
"Not right now" isn't "never"
My hot take on why thinking everyone is talking about you is arrogant
Start small and slowly build the heat with your asks to get comfy with hearing "no" and why it's usually redirection
My own personal experience with rejection, including recently in Lisbon!
