This guy is amazing and what he did is awesome. We can all benefit from rejection therapy, or even from just being aware of what we think and feel when we are rejected or think we will be. Perhaps being aware of the fear of rejection and choosing not to act by default in response is what it takes to get unstuck and take that all important next step on the journey to fulfilling your life calling.

PS (from the future me, added in 2026): the future you will discover that like fear of death, fear of rejection is a strong unconscious drive for many of life’s important decisions. The love addiction you are suffering from is largely stemming from fear of rejection, hence you opting for the (safe) fantasies instead. Rejection is at the core of your childhood trauma and the reason why you lack self-love. So yeah, rejection is going to be a big theme in your life.
