I have a hard time with rejection

I’m afraid to open my mouth most of the time. I might say something too smart or just the opposite, gibberish. If I open my mouth to sing, my goodness, then I’m really in a jackpot. When I approach others hoping to be let into their game, I often get the message that I’m unwelcome. Like with kids telling me to “go away.” All I want to do is be nice and genuine, so it’s odd to me how I get turned away. And then, alone, I might grow bitter from feeling hurt. Can anybody relate?

When I was a telemarketer in my 20’s and 30’s, I used to be so adversely affected by rejection. It floored me. Today, in my late 50’s, working in door to door sales, rejection does not affect me in the least. I could care less. There is always someone else down the road who will take kindly to me.

Funny, but generally, it seems that women give me the most serious answers. Guys like to joke about serious stuff. Maybe I should’ve been a chick, 'cos I like to sing my heart out, too.

Keep singing. 14515515
