Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear And Became Invincible Through 100 Days Of Rejection - Plot & Excerpts
It’s the dread that stops you from even asking a question in the first place—and sometimes covers you in sweat as you get up the courage to make a request. Just remembering one experience of this kind of fear can make people determined never to make themselves vulnerable to it again. Since rejection pain equals physical pain, at least to our brains, it makes even more sense that people rank rejection so high on their fear lists. After all, who isn’t unnerved by the idea of being slapped? But it turns out that many of our fears—including our fear of rejection—actually have evolutionary roots as well. Of all the research studies I read about the fear and pain associated with rejection, some of the most interesting were the ones designed to show that phobias often have pragmatic, not to mention lifesaving, underpinnings. Numerous studies have shown that when it comes to avoiding objects or experiences that we instinctively judge to be harmful, our reaction times are much faster than they are when we’re confronted by harmless objects or experiences.
