And we were both , I mean , we both went through peers where we were like in Hollywood where you're dealing with rejection . I was so afraid of rejection because I hadn't really experienced it much growing up , even though I was an athlete , I was always striving to be the best . But I didn't , if I didn't , if I wasn't number one , I was ok with it because I would know that I tried really hard and did the best that I could .
But I didn't , if I didn't , if I wasn't number one , I was ok with it because I would know that I tried really hard and did the best that I could . But the thought of being rejected by people terrified me to the point where , like , I wouldn't even go on auditions because I just thought I can't handle it . And then when I started getting rejected , you know , in like the corporate world and in relationships , I was like , oh , this isn't that , that's the realization epiphany that we all have because if you , you know , sort of practice it enough , yes , you get better , but most importantly , you stop caring so much .
And it was interesting to your point . Like you just realized that for the most part , rejection only hurts because you haven't experienced it enough . And it's also , um , it's an ego bruise because I was like , oh , I've reached almost 35 .

It doesn't hurt as much .
And it's also , um , it's an ego bruise because I was like , oh , I've reached almost 35 . I've only been rejected by like two guys . I'm OK .
