If I asked someone if I could do something for them, and they didn't want me to, that was another rejection to add. It seems crazy looking back I wouldn't offer things to people, even to my closest friend because I didn't want to get rejected...! Anyway, I did that for a while, aimed to get 10 little rejections a day. It was awesome, anytime I'd get a little rejection, I'd cheer inside myself because I'd get to add another checkmark on my list of 10/day*. After doing this for a while, it didn't bother me anymore these little rejections and it helped me improve my acceptance of rejection that before I couldn't accept. | That's awesome. I like it. 
Will try it myself.
