Hi,
I've been a chump for many, many years. Reflecting back on such memories brings back unbearable pain but I'll do it one time to offer come advice.
Here How I kinda did it:
Me and a friend of mine run an non profit organization for youths in our community. Basically, as the CEO, I make many many phone calls a day. And most of the call involve me (to put it quite bluntly without all the sugar coating) pleading someone (media organizations, donors etc) to do something they almost certainly wouldn't do.
I've done that job for a long time. No doubt,I hear "no" an awful lot (no pun intended). Yet i never took it personally (well to be honest i did in the beginning but overcame that). I never feared getting rejected by newspapers or donors.
Yet I was afraid of getting rejected by girls.
Why? To be honest, now I have no darn clue why b/c I got rejected so many times I didn't even realize it; newspapers rejected me all the time. I wasn't afraid of that, so why be afraid of girl rejections. Sure at least 5 newspapers rejected me, but eventually one said yes and I landed an interview
.
See, persistence pays.
Moral: There is nothing scary about rejection from girls. It only gets scary when you think about it. We get reject everyday, we just dont consciously realize it.
How to overcome rejection: just think about all the times that you got rejected for other things. Why were you not afraid of rejections there?
