Jason, I've been keeping up with your Rejection Therapy challenge and it's been highly entertaining so far. Your comfort zone is certainly a lot broader than mine.
And that brings me to my point: you're more of a risk-taker than most, but it seems the game better serves people who are essentially handicapped because of a social anxiety disorder or introvertedness.
Since you're actually played it, and I haven't, you tell me. Am I right or wrong? Or is the game for anyone?
- jasonshen 16y agoHey Sharktankr - yeah I'd agree. After talking with Jason Comely (rinkjustice on HN) and understanding that he really created the game to push himself, I'd say it's better served for introverted people. You can see it in his definition of what counts as a "rejection" - http://rejectiontherapy.com/what-counts-as-rejection/ http://rejectiontherapy.com/what-counts-as-rejection/ it's supposed to be outside your comfort zone - so even smiling at a cute girl counts. Since I'm comfortable doing a lot of things, it's hard to for me to find rejections that are in this category that aren't really rude or dumb. Though sometimes I wonder if that is just an excuse I've created to not continue pushing myself. (aka I need to approach more beautiful women =D). I do think the game can be fun for anyone and a valuable/educational experience. Where do you think you stand on the introvert/extrovert continuum?
- sharktankr 16y agoI'm your classic introvert. I'm living vicariously through you :)
- jasonshen 16y agoLiving vicariously just doesn't cut it. You should seriously do it. We can tailor it so it's not too scary - email me: jasonyshen at gmail
- sharktankr 16y agoI'm not ready yet, but it's seriously on the todo list. I'll let you know when I am :)
