There’s no way around it: rejection is extremely painful.
But it’s also part of life.
You don’t want to crush the other person, leaving them feeling broken or devastated.
“And that that rejection actually makes you think about yourself.
While that clearly comes from a good place, it ultimately doesn’t do much to soften the blow.
Honesty really is the best policy, no sugar-coating here.
Be specific
Sweeping generalizations are never good.
An absolute no is hard for most people.”
Take care of yourself without destroying someone else.
Expect that it won’t be a super fun experience.
Bartell told me, “Sometimes I have people come to me and they need to fire somebody.
Do it with a friend or with somebody else.”
There may be anger and some ill-will, but kind rejection is healthier rejection in the long-run.
