LPT: You have a hard time saying no to others because of your own fear of rejection. Now that you know this, make an effort to say “no” more often and the next time you get rejected, it won’t sting as much.

Disclaimer: I don’t know if there’s any science behind this, but if you’re like me and are always saying yes to “favors” that you shouldn’t because you’re worried you’ll disappoint someone (which could lead to them not liking you) then try to keep this saying in mind.

Self awareness is key. I admitted to myself my fear of being rejected and just remembering this before I agree or say yes to something has made a huge difference. I’ve been doing it for a month now and I feel stronger mentally. Hope this tip is helpful to others!
