I love this visual of the papier-mache making your skin thicker! I have a lifetime of rejection built up as well from my childhood days. So even though it is a bummer to get a pass (not a rejection) I don’t wallow in it, at least not for too long, and then go back to doing what I do!
There are so many studies about how the grit some people have seems to form and there IS something to knowing (from learned experience) that you can bounce back from setbacks, over and over, if you need to. Of course, not all setbacks are equal, and some people have such a series that they learn the opposite--but I'm with you. It's a weird gift to know we are all actually tougher than we think.
