Why am I so scared of rejection?!


Question: Why am I so scared of rejection!?
I am 16 years old and I would describe myself as fit and good looking!. I'm a funny intelligent easy to get on with person!.

I am so scared of being rejected by anyone!. Girls, people in the street, I was even scared of going to the Barbers on my own! (Now i'm just scared of the barber, he blows)

I haven't been out with anyone for at least 3 years, yeah I know i'm only young but still! And even when I am close to going out with someone who I think I like I make up reasons in my head as to why I shouldn't be with them!. Oh what would my sisters say, my mates say, she isnt that hot after all!.!.!. etc!

I also get incredibly worried about what other people would think!. I know I shouldn't care, and I have given advice to people in the past telling them the same, but why do I care so much!?

It isn't self confidence, I'm the most confident person in the world but it feels like these are the only two issues I need to sort out in my life and it's tearing me apart!

Help me please!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have nothing to loose when it comes to getting girls, if you realy like a girl then you should ask her out after a couple of weeks of tlking to her and stuff u need to make sure she wud be kinda intrested in you!.

I'm sure many people on here have all been rejected once or twice i have once and 2 months later the girl liked me so you might as well go for it!.!.!.!.!. if that same scenario happens to you of the girl becoming intrested in you after rejecting you, dont be stubborn like me and reject her!!! cuz i like her again now and im truly buggeredWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hmm, I dont know if you sound like the most self-confident person!.

Someone who is self-confident, is also confident in the decisions they make, and confident in a sense that they are willing to take a risk wether the outcome is awesome or hell!.

Of course, that right there just sounds like god!. Or jesus!. Or some almighty person!.

But the truth is most people arent like that, but you really have to strive to be!. Dont worry so much!. It sounds easy, but I know it isnt, Im just like you!. Have you considered you might be a bit of a pessimist!?

Im definitly one!. You get scared of the worst outcome and dont even try at all!. You should try to be optimistic!. I think being an optimist or realistic is better than a pessimist!. Sometimes you can be a pessimist, but not in all your "life" matters, you need to be an optimistic or realist to survive!. Being an optimistic is being someone who always assumes or wants the positives, and looks to that direction over anything else, and a realist is someone who is balanced, they see the positives and negatives, but just risk it and go with it and try to accept the outcome at the end!. But prepare for both!.

Yet, as you can see, a realist is not really much of a pessimist at all, because he eventually has to accept the negatives to even take the risk at all!. Which in itself is a positive!. While a pessimist, would probably run away and not even accept the possibility of a bad outcome or risk anything!. Get me!?

I didnt mean to confuse the hell out of you!. You probably are confused!. All Im saying, is from the sounds of it, you sound more pessimistic than just "afraid of rejection"!.

That is something to definitly work on!. Ethier with professional help, or doing things that literally help you and force you to become more positive, and take risks!.

I hope I helped in some way, i guess thats all i can give :P Best of luck though :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
