3 Things To Stop The Fear Of Rejection
I am an introvert.
I am happy with this personality.
I urge for friendly and welcoming treatment, but at the same time, I am in fear of being rejected.
Rejection has been the biggest challenge of my growth.
When I was still a kid, I was rejected by other kids for some reasons I did not comprehend. I stopped engaging with them.
Subconsciously I believed that I was not welcome by other kids.
I did not know that. But I was deeply impacted by this belief.
As I grew up, I avoided any opportunity to be rejected by others.
I only connected with people who approached me first.
I would not reach out to make friends first.
This habit was built up so strong like a foundation.
My biggest fear of being rejected became the obstacle of my personal growth.
It stopped me from promotion at work. It stopped me from having healthy relationships.
I became very defensive when people rejected my opinions.
Over the years, I have tried and learnt again and again how to overcome the fear of rejection.
