I hate rejection

I'm being honest with myself. I hate rejection because it makes me anxious. I asked a friend did they wanna talk and they said no. I feel hurt and regret asking the question.

I do this everytime i get told "no" or "i can't" and i get mad. i do try to fight the anxiety but it always gets the best of me.

I try telling myself I'm not the only one with mental problems but it doesn't help. I want to change my ways.

Any thoughts on this?
