Asking something from strangers to cope with rejection is the challenge Matthew Lewis has set for himself. This American engineer attended a conference on the interest of living with refusals and decided to experience it. Every day, he therefore makes a request which he expects to refuse: to make his own sandwich in a fast-food restaurant, to press the horn of a truck, to visit the cockpit of an airplane, to learn how to make sushi …
To keep up with the pace of a challenge a day, Matthew posts his experiences on TikTok, where his account already has more than 100,000 subscribers. The young man quickly saw the fruits of this experience ripen: “It was difficult to take the plunge. After the first day, I saw that it could give me great opportunities and I started to feel more comfortable. This project has helped me in all aspects of my life. I have much less difficulty asking for things and getting in touch with people. »Discover Matthew’s challenge in the video of our partner Brut.
