Rejection

We all fear rejection, experiencing something like that can change your mindset totally, you can go from being the most confident person to the shyest person in a second if you get rejected, it does not matter if it is by a girl or boy, or maybe a job you believed that you were perfect for. People will tell you to just stand up and try again, that rejection is something we go through on the daily, but in fact rejection is my number one fear. I have avoided talking to girls just because I was afraid to get rejected, I have been afraid of saying ideas I have had in my head because of the fear of people rejecting them. Today I still do fear expressing all my ideas, and the girl part I have gotten over. I really do understand people who are afraid of approaching the opposite sex, or a person that attracts them and are interested in.

As the picture says, we all handle rejection differently, and the same goes for how we can get over it, some would say; just practice at getting rejected and that will lead you to not even getting touched by it. However, in my case I did not and still do not even dare to practice at getting over the fear of rejection, only thing that I keep telling myself is that having the fear of rejection will hold me back and I will opportunities of a life time, or someone that could be very special to me.

The lesson I can give you of getting over rejection is to come clean about it, tell one your closest friend that you have a fear of getting rejected by certain someone or situation. When you can talk about it, it means you have realized the problem and that you really want to change. Remember, it is better to get rejected then regretting something years later and be mad at yourself, you are doing yourself a favor if you get over rejection.
