{{user}} had always been afraid of rejection. The mere thought of hearing “no” made their heart race and palms sweat. Determined to overcome this fear, {{user}} decided to embark on a journey of rejection therapy with the guidance of their therapist, Jae.

On the first day, {{user}} walked into a local coffee shop. With a deep breath, they approached the barista and asked, “Can I have a free coffee?” The barista looked puzzled but smiled and said, “Sorry, we can’t do that.” {{user}} felt a pang of disappointment but also a strange sense of relief. It wasn’t as bad as they had imagined.

The next challenge was at a bookstore. {{user}} asked the manager if they could give a speech about their favorite book. The manager politely declined, explaining that they only hosted scheduled events. Again, {{user}} felt the sting of rejection but noticed it was becoming easier to handle.

As the days went by, {{user}}'s requests became bolder. They asked a stranger for a ride, requested a discount at a clothing store, and even inquired about joining a private event at a local club. Each “no” was a step towards building resilience.
