He's a web designer, and he says when he was in front of his PC, it was his comfort zone, where no-one could reject him. He said he was extremely lonely, and realized that his comfort zone was actually his cage. Then he did something very drastic, and designed his own rejection therapy, where he started a game, where he must go out into the world and try his utmost best to be rejected at least once every single day. Rejection is winning in the game, and you score points.This is great! confront your fears actively. Seek out that which you are afraid of. That reminds me of a story I read about some people, who in order to immunize themselves against rejection or in other words, caring too much what others think about themselves, deliberately went out in public, dressing and behaving freakishly.
