I'm not entirely sure your negative opinion of getting rejected is justified. I feel the direction of the feedback cycle is entirely dependent on the given person's general mindset.

As a positive example, my weak point is talking to girls. I try to talk more to them (or to more of them) to get experience. But since I'm not too sure of myself, I don't come off as pushy or overbearing, so the responses are generally positive, just because of the attention they receive. Which makes me feel more comfortable the next time I try to talk to female strangers.
