Fear of rejection- Mosi 23

“Deeply afraid of rejection.”

I have faced several fears in my life, and all I can say is that I was deeply afraid of rejection. This fear had troubled me since childhood and only worsened as I grew older. My fear of rejection affected my life in many ways. I found it difficult to make friends and often hesitated to speak up in group settings. I avoided dating altogether as I was convinced I would be rejected by any potential partner.

Scared to put myself out there.

As I grew older, I realised that my fear of rejection was holding me back from the things I truly desired in life. I longed to start my own business but was scared to put myself out there and risk failure. I also dreamt of travelling and experiencing new cultures but was afraid of being rejected by those I would meet.

Determined to overcome

One day, I decided that I had had enough. I realized that my fear of rejection kept me from living the life I truly wanted, and I was determined to overcome it. I started by taking small steps, like introducing myself to new people and speaking up in meetings at work. It was very hard in the beginning.

Gaining confidence

With each small victory, I gained confidence and began to believe in myself more. I started to take bigger risks, like asking for a crush on a date and putting together a proposal for my dream business. Though I faced rejection along the way, it wasn't as scary as I had imagined.

Simply a part of life

In fact, I learned that rejection was simply a part of life, and It didn't define me or my worth as a person. When I did face rejection, I found that it was often a stepping stone to something even better.

Free from the fear

Finally, free from the fear of rejection, I went on to live the life I had always wanted. I started my own successful business, frequently travel to see and experience different parts of the world, and even fell in love. Though I still face challenges and setbacks, I know that I can handle them with grace and confidence, thanks to the lessons I am learning along the way.
