Most of us don't have to worry about that.

In the past, rejection ended when the interaction ended.

Uh, no, it didn't lmao

People talked shit and spread gossip and rumors all the time. Social failures often spread like wildfire through middle and high schools. When and where did you grow up?

I mean, clients and customers all fall under the same umbrella as work colleagues, they're all professional relationships

OP didn't really bring up trying to pick up your work colleagues, I think that's pretty universally a bad idea, though it certainly happens. The risk of consequences is absolutely going to be high in a professional setting

But I think the fear or social consequences is a relatively new construct.

Rejection and social consequences have absolutely been part of the game, pretty much forever. If I had to wager, what's different now is that young people spend time online that has replaced irl time, which has "upped the stakes" for irl interactions in their minds. They also just haven't been as conditioned to being rejected irl and learning to move on.

I say all this as an elder Millennial who employs quite a few 20-somethings, and who has several 20-something nieces/nephews

Plant it in peat moss mixed with sand and only water with distilled water or rainwater. It needs a lot of light too, so keep it near a south facing window

If you put them right into rich soil, it will absolutely kill them. If you put them in nutient-poor, moist soil that has juuust enough micronutrients, they can survive without insects.

But yes, even watering with tap water will kill them, due to too many dissolved minerals

They can't live on soil nutrients in soil where there are no nutrients, which is where they evolved
