Seems to me you are not very acquainted with rejection, which is the topic of the article.
It talks about how, in our modern age, we face rejection all the time: at work, dating, in friendships... and how the internet has made the number of rejections you might face in your day-to-day explode... and how we're not psychologically prepared to face that.
An article, IMO, doesn't need to have a call for change, or a very deep insight or idea.... this one just calls to our attention what's happening and how that might be causing consequences we're not paying much attention to (like the appearance of incels culture and other "avoid rejection at all costs" movements), which is something I do agree with.
- ilovefood 5y agoWell the first part might not be true, as a north african immigrant in Europe I am very well acquainted with rejection in so many things I lost count, a simple case is searching for a flat in Munich which made the news a few years ago. My name only is a reason for rejection and frankly nothing can ever prepare you for that unless, you get a lot of rejections. Has it ever stopped me? no. Thank you for clarifying though, I get it, I definitely had a different definition of what a rejection is which is what caused my confusion. For the last part, I absolutely agree, some people tend to be too focused on the rejection itself and define themselves by it instead of doing something to changing it or themselves. Which always leads to bad things.
