Let your past rejection experiences work for you instead of against you by allowing them to help you sense the possible pain behind other people’s reactions. Try to see things from their vantage points and think of how they might be hurting in this situation. Even if you don’t agree with their stance or their reaction, find a way to identify with their hurt. Most people are walking around with way more hurts from their past than we can ever imagine. Pretty much everyone has at some point been deeply hurt by someone. That’s your “me too.”
