Yeah man, you know I didn't really think of it that way! In a lot of ways, I have lived a bit of my life around the fact that I didn't want to be told "no". I didn't really try to flirt with girls that were out of my league for fear of rejection. I didn't end up with ugly women, but certainly not ones that I likely could have if I had the confidence!

Rejection is for SURE a part of growth as an individual.
