# A last thought before bed

Another reason new media folks may not like to leave the fishbowl? When you market outside your community, the rejection rate gets a LOT higher, and the rejections themselves can be a lot more vicious. If you're a nice, kind, easy-going person, as many in new media are, dealing with skyrocketing rejection rates can really sting. As [Clarence](https://www.doyouknowclarence.com) says, let it marinate.
