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!
