I feel like I use strangers as unwitting tools in my own psychological therapy all the time, but yes here it's sketchy because rejecting someone (the intended response) is an unpleasant activity.
- sacrosancty 5y agoPerhaps those people who suffer rejecting-unpleasantness should do their own therapy where they go around rejecting people's requests!
- shreddit 5y agoThey could go into stores and wander seemingly helpless around, to be asked whether they need help. This could be discouraging towards “new” employees though. Maybe they should walk around and learn getting rejected… oh well
- munificent 5y agoYou know, if a whole bunch of rejection therapy and rejector therapy folks want to get in a room and work through their stuff, I am all about it because then they've all agreed to participate.
- openknot 5y agoI'm sympathetic to this view, but from my experience living in a dense city, I'm effectively consenting to be randomly approached whenever I step outdoors to go in public. I may not like it, but people regularly approach to ask for money, to sign up for a recurring donation, to sign a petition, to give a flyer, to sell a CD of music (yes, even in modern times), or to give a product sample. I may also get photographed by a street photographer. A small request that can help someone with their problems looks relatively mild compared to most of these other actions.
