Today I got rejected two times

Good evening man (it’s 21:48 here in Tbilisi).

I just got out of a group call with my students, and we did some inspiring roleplay.

We practiced being harshly rejected.

Why?

Before the call I went to the farmacy to get some dental floss (this is important man)

and I saw a girl that I wanted to approach.

First I hesitated, and then went for it.

I told her that I have a meeting with my students in a moment and I wanted to practice approaching a girl, so that’s why I came over.

She opens up and we start talking

Power of authenticity you see…

We talk about how it’s sometimes scary to approach someone, because we have all these self-doubting thoughts and she tells me that she has it all the time.

I feel inspired

She says, you know what you should do with your students?

I ask her what?

“You should practice being rejected”

it’s brilliant!

And then she says something that lights a light bulb in me

“When you don’t fear failure, you can fail forward.”

Then, when I say it was nice meeting her, she tells me it was not nice meeting me.

IT STINGS

she asks how it felt (I told you she was inspiring)

I say that it stung me, but since I’ve worked on my self-esteem it didn’t go so deep because I believe that I’m a good guy and someone it is nice to meet

so that it’s not important and even possible that all people will like me.

And now I invite you to develop the same type of thick skin

The self-love

and respect

so that no matter how the interaction goes - you don’t take it personally.

How?

Remember what the girl said

“When you don’t fear failure, you can fail forward.”

and the only way to overcome this…is to experience is + work on your self-esteem.

That’s it from me today,

Edin

PS: Oh, and I approached three girls earlier today to let one of them know she was my type of girl and she said she was not interested
