Get over The fact Strain Of Rejection.



Anxiousness of rejection is one of the largest things that keeps us back in life, but particularly in relationships. The irony nonetheless is that rejection is actually preferable to indifference, and that the result will only be the same as if we were to avoid ever putting ourselves on the course in the first place.
For example the most common time when most of us are afraid of rejection is when we are planning on asking someone out. If we are so afraid of rejection that we never come near or ask that person, then this will mean that there is a certainty we wo n't end up dating them which is no different from what would happen if we were to be turned down. At the same time though, if we at least ask and at least approach the person we are interesting then we have a possibility of getting the positive response that we want. At the same time if we try and fail then we will still have the power to move on and to bookend the situation rather than just wondering what might bechance. At the same time you increase your chances by putting your wellbeing on the line thus demonstrating both exposure and courage, and you also learn from the experience either way. There is every reason then to try and to take a chance regardless of what you think the outcome is, and yet so many of us stay frozen in inactivity thanks to fear.


To get over this is simply a matter of learning to put your wellbeing out there more, and learning to get over social inhibitions which can be achieved by putting yourself in awkward situations and learning that they 're not that bad, or by using CBT to change the way they think about things.
Tell yourself it's a learning curb and that it does n't matter. We do n't grow as a result of success, we mature as a result of failure. Rejection only makes us stronger.
