As a feeler, I can really relate. And as a self-employed freelance writer, rejection is part of my job description. I still have to work not to take it persoanally or let it undermine my confidence.
These are all really great tips. I appreciate that you don't suggest that we ignore our emotions, but that we process them, learn from them, and move on. I like the idea of compartmentalising. Feelers can be so holistic that a rejection in one area of life can feel like a judgement of who we are as a person. It helps to keep it in its place.
