Young Thinkers* don’t fear rejection.

This is something that the Mature Thinkers* should know: Young Thinkers* don’t fear rejection from strangers, but they’re terrified of losing an opportunity to make or keep a friend. Therefore, they’re hanging on if you seem uncertain about your rejection – just in case. An Mature Thinker* doesn’t like to openly and coldly reject anyone. They drop hints and hope the gentle rejection will be enough to send that person walking without hurting their emotions. However, if that person comes back time and time again, they’re probably a Young Thinker* and needs to be told in a bored, cold tone: “Just fuck off already.”

If you don’t say anything and pretend to be always too busy, deliberately ignore or block them, they think you’re “making a scene” to literally get their attention.

If you give them A REASON for your rejection, they believe they’re still in the game, and they can work on FIXING the problem, and you’re HELPING THEM to become the way you want them to be; you still BELIEVE in them. (Not to say you shouldn’t ask someone to make a change of some sort if you believe in them, or want them to solve it, or if they’re a Mature Thinkers* who knows their limits, but don’t waste your breath on a Young Thinker* you’re hoping to reject, because they don’t believe they have limits – they believe they lack a trainer.)

When it’s a former friend or a family member, they may cry a little, but they’ll get over it. They just need to know you’re serious… And they don’t believe you’re serious until you sound unemotional, fed up, and bored – any emotion, including anger, sounds like a chance to a Young Thinker*.
