--Meeting Topic: "Rejection Sensitivity" - Rejection can be hard. and it's a type of failure. Yet learning from failures & rejection can be good. Also possibilities can be limited when we avoid situations & rejection. Have you dealt with & reacted better to rejection over your lifetime? What have you learned? What kinds of situations do you avoid? Do you have tips on how to deal with rejection or failure? Note this is a sensitive topic & we'll give trigger warnings & ask permission on content, to allow vulnerability.
