In the TED Talk “What I learned from 100 days of rejection”, speaker Jia Jiang insists that putting yourself in difficult situations over and over again allows for you to overcome them. Jiang believes that this works when applied to the fear of rejection. In order to test this, Jiang set himself up to be rejected once a day for 100 days. Jiang has always had a significant fear of rejection, he admitted. On the first day of rejection, Jiang explains that he asked a stranger for $100. When the stranger said no, Jiang apologized and ran away. He acknowledged that he needed to work on his reaction to rejection. On day 2, Jiang asked the cashier at a burger joint if he could have a burger refill. When he as denied, Jiang explained why he wanted another burger and accepted the rejection. This experiment continued for 100 days, and overcoming his fear of rejection taught Jiang that he could embrace  rejection and better himself.
