Feedback

"Overcoming the Fear of Feedback" was a great read for people with a little background on biology because it connects the fear of feedback with biological reasons. For instance, the article mentions that we are naturally more faster at reacting to negativity because this was a necessity for surviving. This explains why our first reaction to negative feedback is to feel a little judged, misunderstood, or simply angry. I also thought it was interesting how people give more positive feedback in person if they, themselves have a low self-esteem. This was a good read for myself because it served as a reminder for staying positive even if I'm being told something "negative." I think it's a challenge for myself to go against biological responses.
This was also another great read. I think there is no one in this world that is not afraid of rejection no matter how many times they've experienced it. There is no "getting used to" when it comes to rejection, in my opinion. That being said, this read provided a great source for the topic of the need to "belong." As a psychology major, I've studied over this topic and this article goes hand in hand with this subject. I learned that there is so much more that hurts than emotional pain with rejection from this read. However, making a list of five great things about yourself when you feel that emotional pain is a great way to bounce back. I think I will use this tip when I feel like I won't get "accepted" or "fit in." A little reminder of your own worth goes a long way.
