In my early career I was like a goldfish. Rejection didn't affect me; I'd just forget how bad it was and keep going back for more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I went by all the rejection I've had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.
Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.
I've had way more rejections than I've had jobs.
Growing up as a chubby kid with a ton of imaginary friends and a Cyndi Lauper obsession, I learned about rejection early on and was constantly trying to avoid it.
Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.
Rejection is, of course, part of any successful model's career, as ironic as that sounds. It's how you pick yourself up and get on with the job.
So struggling for work here has been very good for me, but it's also been very hard to handle rejection.
I've always hated rejection; I only want to go out there when I know I've got it right.
These rejections hurt me terribly because I felt it was my life that was being rejected.
It was the worst period of my life. I had all this gigantic acceptance as a kid, and all of a sudden there was this monumental rejection.
