Here are the 10 emotional stages of e-mail rejection:
Why I permanently block people who lack common courtesy of responding to mails.
I wish people would give everyone an ounce of respect for what they are doing and just reply back with an honest answer.
1
Excitement
Send an important email to the person you are looking to connect with.
2
Anxiety
Constant refreshing of your e-mail for the first 5 hours.
3
Curiosity
Wondering why they haven’t responded back yet.
4
Investigation
Checking if your mail was sent.
5
Confusion
You start questioning your contents of the e-mail. Maybe it was too long or too short? Maybe they already don't like you? Why has that person not responded back yet?
6
Sadness
Be honest, it’s a little dejecting to send an important email and not get a response.
7
Anger
Why hasn’t that person responded back? How unprofessional of them. If they wanted to say no, all they had to do was say NO. That person doesn’t know what they’re missing out on.
8
Acceptance
You have come to acceptance with the person not e-mailing you back. It is what it is.
9
Lack of Acceptance
Okay, so you haven’t truly accepted it yet. They were probably busy and lost track of the e-mail you sent. So you send another follow up e-mail with a different approach.
10
Repeat
Go to step 2 and start the process over again.
I wish people would give everyone an ounce of respect for what they are doing and just reply back with an honest answer.
