Haven't posted in a long time due to busy rehearsal schedule. Videos are coming up soon, as soon as I get my camera in the mail. The only rejection that happened so far was at my tutors. I asked her if we could do the Harlem shake, and she said "I don't know what it is, therefore no."

My school lunch sells cookies, so I ask the cashier, this really old guy, if I could get a cookie, gluten free, hold the flour. His response: so you want chocolate chips with a baggie of flour, we can't do that. I'm just kidding he doesn't know what gluten is. Also most of these posts are complete and utter lies.

Today I asked my parents one of those obvious no-no's. "Hey Dad, can I get my ears pierced?" My dad answers in the most unthinkable way, "Are you trying to 'acquire swag' or are you intentionally trying to look like a girl?"  

Thank you Mr. AZ, how do you make your songs so amazing!

Ok so I have rejection-idea block, anythings you want me to try out? Just post here.

Gotta love OneRepublic

First rejection of the day, asking my friend to workout at the gym. His response, "LOL no!" Funny thing is, ten minutes later as I'm doing working on my cardio, I see him walk in to the gym. I guess this thing is really working!  

The first step to a result is admittance. This is where it all begins, where I unintentionally started my path (hopefully) to success. After the seventh performance of our drama production about school shooting, I asked my longtime crush out, in the most awkward way possible. The stuttering, the awkward timing, the getting-cockblocked-by-friends, the whole deal. Obviously I got rejected, I felt like crap afterwards, could it be that rejection could be really this bad? This is when I came up with my goal, never get rejected again. Boy, was I wrong, I realized there was no escape from it, only feeling a sort of numbness towards it and that is how I decided to take the Rejection Therapy 100 day challenge. So for 100 days, I'm going to be posting random requests and their outcomes, whether it be a rejection or a success. Some will come in the form of long  paragraphs and some might come in the form of videos. This is going to be a long 100 days... 

This is Avi, with the beginning of the Rejection Therapy game. I was inspired by Jia Jiang from TED talk to try out the Rejection Therapy, created by Jason Comely. The method is simple, just get rejected at least once a day. Chronologically, my first rejection will start one day before the creation of this blog. I wanted to do this for two main reasons; one is to perform a social experiment to deal with rejection, and two to see how many  yeses I will get. No individuals will be singled out, although instances will be, obviously.  Feel free to comment or ask any questions. Thank you!
