Winning the Rejection Game
A card game based on social interactions is gaining in popularity. The objective? Get the most points by seeking rejection.
Game creator Jason Comely explains in an article in Fearless stories:
A card game has an immediacy to it. It has an emotional charge to it. There’s something different when you’re reading a book about rejections and how you need to get out of your comfort zones passively on the bus. But it’s another thing to when you’re actually holding the card and it says “borrow a shirt from a stranger”. You’re holding a card and you’re in a parking lot and you’re staring at this person. You know what I mean? And you feel the fear.
Seriously.

If you’re struggling with taking risks, playing this solo card game might be inspiring. You pull the top item off the deck and it says something like “Go and buy something, and ask the cashier for a discount.”
Failure is the secret to success. In the case of this game, actively seeking failure in the form of rejection is the only way to advance.
What’s the purpose of purposely getting shot down? Make yourself stronger. Get better at dealing with problems. And ultimately: succeed.
