Startup rejection — Usual: They said no, so we are not good enough. Reframe: They said no to this version of the story and the business. Both can be improved.
Family comparison — Usual: My cousin is already settled and I am behind. Reframe: Different people optimise for different timelines. I am collecting skills and options.
