Rejection Therapy

[nistake]

This guy has already made a thread about this, you can find it here:

This thread is a great summary for this but If you don't want to read it, here's the bottom line: You go out and purposely do embarrassing stuff and getting rejected. The main idea is to do this until you get desensitized to rejection.

Just think about for a second. If you're used to embarassment in every possible situation, then what's the limit for you? You see a hottie in the store and you want to chat her up? Easy. You see a group of guys playing football in the local park and want to ask them if you can join? Easy. Boldly ask for a raise in your workplace? Easy. And the list goes on. I'm not an expert at this, I've only done this twice, but I'll definitely do it in the near future. Here are a few points the way I do it:

- You can do the easy stuff first as a warmup. Saying hello to random people, give them compliments, ask for the time, etc.

- If you feel like you can handle more, you can proceed the the more embarrassing stuff.

- You can combine this with pickup. Or it can be a great introductory method if you're afraid to do that.

- The are no rules, you can do this however you want. Although it requires commitment and some balls.

If you decide to give this a try, here are a few ideas:

Ask for:

High-fives, free stuff from a store, a selfie with random people, a cigarette then give them back, a 0-10 rate for you looks. You can also lie/sit down on a busy sidewalk.  You can simply ask them interesting questions and initiate conversations. The only limit is your imagination.

I've done a few of these and here are my favorites so far:

- I saw a street musician and I asked if I could try his acoustic guitar. He agreed to it. Fun fact: I can't play the acoustic guitar and it was quite cringy

- I asked a cute girl if she knew any great restaurants and pubs in the local area. I asked in English as if I were a tourist (I live in Hungary and Hungarian is my native language). She couldn't speak well but was really helpful and cute. It was funny as hell.

- I asked a local ice cream store if I could have free samples. At first the girl didn't know what to do because she said I was the first person to ask for samples. Then, she just simply gave me a spoon and I could try whatever I wanted to try. She was also really awesome and we chatted for a few minutes afterwards.

So, if you want to beat your social anxiety and resolve your sensitivity to rejection once and for all, give this a try. You won't regret it
