Yes, I would highly recommend doing rejection therapy. We did it at rationality mini-camp and from what I’ve heard, everyone had a fun time AND they became more open and socially adept. You just realize how much you can do/get just by asking, how people react to you (they don’t really care), etc...
Best way to try it is to go downtown or campus (if you live in a big city) or drive up some place where you don’t know anyone and just walk around asking people for things (money, items, high-fives, going to lunch, anything at all). The goal is to get they to say YES, but you do it to get rejected. Get some friends to come with you (but do the exercise individually, being in a group dilutes the feeling of rejection). Do this continuously and I think you’ll be very happy with the results.
