My shower thought on how a terrible job interview became a confidence booster

Getting rejected made me realize I was aiming too low, lol.

Wow, after my rejection, I focused on skills I undervalued and it helped.

It's fantastic that approach worked for you, but sometimes focusing on undervalued skills doesn't automatically translate to success. I've noticed it really depends on aligning those skills with tangible opportunities or markets. Linda has a point about setbacks being crushing, and that initial disappointment can cloud any potential upside. Olivia's idea of a quiet advantage is spot on, though it usually requires patience and a shift in perspective. Your story is encouraging because it shows persistence can rewrite a rejection narrative!

Sometimes that's where the real growth happens... turning a setback into a quiet advantage.

Nah, I've seen setbacks just crush people's spirit. Not everything has a silver lining.

But what if @linda636 is right and I'm just overconfident now?
