I'm stuck (and financially dependent) between a family that calls me delusional and a mindset that tells me to keep going. Also worth noting, I have a therapist I see weekly that assures me I'm not delusional. My question is this-- How do you keep going and not let the fire inside of you burn out when everyone around you is trying to put it out?

I was certain you'd get in tbh. Your head game and confidence seemed on point. I was pretty confident that I was getting in I had like 49 embedded views. I'm bummed but oh well. Life moves on. It was my first time applying so I feel like a dick complaining about not getting in. Plus, I'm solo and non-technical. I was hoping that my hubris and ability to communicate would get me an interview.

It's okay. You're not alone.

It seems as though everyone has gotten them. Most people have gone into hiding though. I received my rejection at 5:37 and was crying in front of a mirror by 5:38. #proud

Just got my rejection. Now I wonder if all 46 of the embedded views were them just laughing at me lol.

embedded: 46

Not sure if they think I am funny or a psycho.

you will be okay.
Re:YC W17 Invites/Rejections on Tuesday October 25, 2016 @06:51PM (#12792481)
what do you mean by that? like how many views # did we get?
Re:YC W17 Invites/Rejections on Tuesday October 25, 2016 @06:50PM (#12792476)
Just a guess, but I am guessing that would be considered on time. Best of luck :) :)
