>The latest trend seems to be "rejection therapy". If this helps people, good, but I hate this. Can we instead please make the next trend "Make somebody's day every day for 30 days therapy"?
Sounds like this 17 year old girl summoned up some courage to help you, instead of minding her own business like so many people do. She might have felt she was taking a chance with her safety to help you, or at the very least be spurned by you. Imagination can be an awful thing sometimes.
I've played Rejection Therapy for awhile now, and it's given me the courage to reach out to estranged family members, to give up my seat on the bus to women, to ask a stranger with a cast if I could walk her dog.
I am a good person, with good intentions, but I am extremely shy by nature and it has handicapped my personality. I've lived alone for many years because of my extreme awkwardness around women. Now I try to reach out to others, even women, despite my fear. I'm now aware that my comfort zone is a cage. And I want out.
Rejection Therapy gives people hope. It permits people to fail, and win, at the same time. That's a trend I want to continue.
