The fear of rejection is most commonly seen as a fear of revealing your true self to other people because they might reject you.
I have the fear of rejection, which is why I'm not very good at making new friends. This really isn't much of a problem as far as I'm concerned. If people want to make the effort to get to know me, go ahead, and if they don't, well I kinda don't care since I don't know them.
I gotta go to bed, so...I guess I'll have to put this off even more.
Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
