When I first started looking for developer jobs, every single rejection hurt. Eventually, I started to feel comfortable with receiving rejections. Now, they don't bother me (unless I get really excited and hopeful). I always tell myself now that when one door closes another opens.
This is an amazing take on rejection.

Thank you for writing this article, Jacob!
I feel the same way, and it took a lot of discomfort to get to the place I'm at now.
But I still get discouraged and definitely still fear rejection, I just know to keep it in perspective!
Glad you enjoyed the article!
