    A large portion of my life revolves around avoiding rejection. The best thing to do is to imagine the worst case scenario. Compare it to the most dreadful thing that could happen to a person. You then realize that rejection won't be so bad, and it makes it a lot easier to go through life.

      Actually they've done studies which show that men would rather have a root canal than have a woman reject them.
