Thanks for liking one of my recent bites of comments which led me here. I’m glad you’re working through this rejection thing and seeming to come out on top. Having just retired from 35 years of highschool teaching, I’m dismayed by the power addiction to “likes” has on people these days. So many just sit in a curled up huddle rather than take a bold step and try anything. Conversations, new ideas, fresh pursuits. Good luck to you. And I’m glad we crossed paths.
“hiding doesn’t protect you from pain it just protects you from connection too” so many good quotes I need to keep in my mind here! On Substack I feel like I’m facing my fear of rejection every day and it’s hard not to let it affect your self worth
