Anyone up for doing rejection therapy?

Posted by rakimaki99@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 25 comments

Basically going out, asking for money, asking girls out, the point would be to get desensitized to rejection, emotionally

Would anyone dare to join me?

The goal is to get rejected mostly, but it only counts where there's a possibility of success as well

That was so fucking cringe 15 years ago when it was first trending. Be a decent person and don't do it.

I'm in therapy but I need exposure and constantly facing my fears to lower my sensitiy, it's overwhelming to be honest

Ask your therapist what 'action' you should take instead of harrassing unconsenting people because you've seen others doing it on tiktok.

Sure it is pretty clear what 'consent' means.

I think he will learn the Hungarian word rendőrség very quickly and intimately. Even if he doesn't recognize the word or know how to pronounce it.

So you are going to make a lot of people uncomfortable to try some weird INCEL method to thicken your skin?

Absolutely ridiculous. Think about others outside of yourself for once, and maybe you won't be so sensitive! Ever think about that?

I think there is no problem with asking girls out to get used to being rejected. Exposure therapy is very effective. I wouldn’t do it in groups tho

Because you are not treating women like women and asking them out for their personality or similar interests. You are just making them harden to approaching men.

Anecdote: when I move to a large city, I used to smile and be friendly. But that very soon stopped because when you did people would approach you for money or say something creepy.

You are effectively doing the same thing. People aren't your prop for "exposure therapy". Jesus.

Why don't you guys volunteer somewhere and just learn how to be socialized normally by interacting with the public in a positive way. Fuck.

I understand it of course from a women’s perspective as well, but again i don’t see any problem with it. With the rise of social media and dating apps, a lot of people didn’t learn how to socialize. I know it’s not ideal, but does it really hurt so much when someone approaches you respectfully, who knows you might like him. And let’s not pretend that women get approached based on their personality.

The problem is it doesn't treat the other person as a person. It completely disregards their feelings, thoughts, wants and desires and boils them down to "immersion/exposure therapy".

What if they're in a committed relationship already? What if they are in an abusive relationship? What if they are newly single and emotionally processing that still? What if ... someone doesn't want to be propositioned walking home from work? Do yo want to be walking through West End/Keleti/Deak and be hit on?

As I said, it's incredibly fucking creepy and as others have said, disregarding women (why does it HAVE to be women?) completely and treating them as literal objections to gain something personally is incel behaviour.

None of this is okay.
