I like that. I think doing something on the next hand is what gives you that versatility which allows you to develop and better cope with rejection… and life.

I think you are right that “The cards are always in your hands” as you stated above. My only recommendation would be to make sure you take advantage of those cards and do something different on your next hand.

Good point about it creating room for some other opportunity.

Quinn – That’s a good point about when we tell ourselves “no”. I don’t listen to that inner voice all the time, and it tends to always be right, so I pay for it a little each time. Our self-rejections are usually very direct and helpful.

Ken – That sure is a scenario when it becomes a legal issue. It makes sense to go for what you see is fair, which is much better than backing down.

Tom – Thanks about that. It sure is worth it to tell folks when they aren’t being direct, because people are more than happy to unleash their direct selves when informed of this.

Walter – That’s a solid way to put it about being unique enough to be a threat. Very good way to turn it around there, and I think it is accurate in most cases. Lack of comprehension on the other end is always a source of our dismay, until we see it for the good we have on our end.

Amit – Thanks there about the response methods. I sure like that it could go to more who get stuck in some way due to rejection. Inaction due to frustration is something that we always regret later, so helping folks avoid this has large value.

Your tips on how to respond are fantastic. True jewels and very practical. I’ve never thought of that before now but I’ll definitely be forwarding this to people who don’t take rejection well!
