Yeah, I know that can sound weird. I've tried hard not to do things that are hurt people or are particularly bothersome. But part of what rejection therapy teaches you is that people don't really care that much about you. That guy has probably completely forgotten about that incident already (I mean San Francisco is full of weirdos).

I've been trying to get more meaningful rejections (see the edit I made at the end just now for an example) but at the same time, I'm going to make sure I get rejected every day. I've committed to the challenge and I won't back down now.

It's fun reading, but to make it really interesting I think you would need to go really far outside your comfort zone.

Real rejection is hard. Find out, by going to Facebook, and send a really heartfelt message to that girl you always had feelings for but never told. Find out what real rejection is.

I have to wonder if the head of this thread is actually a rejection that counts. They're rejecting your use of rejection therapy.
I'm only really rejecting a few of his rejection attempts. Overall it's a cool idea, calling strangers and attempting to share food are where it went over board.
