It’s the likely explanation as to why we tend to feel more stung by rejection, even, than by failure, Winch adds.Why planning for failure can help you reach your goalsThe problem is that we tend to face more opportunities to be rejected than ever before in human history . And even though there’s still an interpersonal dynamic, most of the online and real-life rejections most of us face today don’t threaten our survival so much as they did thousands of years ago, Leary says.
We need to get better at distinguishing whose rejection matters to us versus the inconsequential kind, Leary says.Most of the rejections we face aren’t personal, Winch says. You didn’t get the job because someone else had previously known and worked with the team, not because you weren’t good enough.
