I know how scary rejection can feel. That fear of hearing the word "no" has stopped me in my tracks more times than I’d like to admit. In today’s episode of Success Reimagined with Amna Shabbir, MD, I’m sharing how I’ve worked through my own fear of rejection—and how you can, too.
Rejection can leave us stuck in the worst-case scenario without even trying. Whether it’s asking for a raise, pursuing a dream, or having an honest conversation, the fear of ‘no’ can hold us back from opportunities that could change our lives. But here’s the good news: rejection doesn’t have to define us.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why you are afraid of rejection
✅ Insights into how rejection affects your mindset and decisions
✅ Practical steps you can start implementing right away to overcome this fear
I’ll also talk about Jia Jiang’s inspiring “100 Days of Rejection” experiment, where he sought out rejection on purpose—and discovered surprising lessons about resilience. 📺 Check out Jia Jiang’s TEDx Talk.
This isn’t about avoiding rejection—it’s about reframing what it means and learning to embrace it as part of the process.
