I Am Afraid of Rejection

I would like you to visualize the vastness and complexity of life itself, and in contrast, visualize how insignificant this experience (getting her validation) would pale in comparison to your life. The key distortion here (catastrophizing) is that her rejection or acceptance of you would take precedence over the value and purpose of your life. A rejection is none other than an experience that you consciously observe. But, it is not you.


Strengthen your self-image in a way that you stop identifying who you are with what happens around you. You cannot find yourself in the content of her validation. But, you can find yourself by looking within and restructuring your thoughts to reflect the infinite being you really are.

Sounds like we're in the same boat! There's this lady i've been admiring from afar for the past 9 months. I'm just now getting around to the idea of actually talking to her even just to say hi but that idea scares me. Do you know this girl and do you two already have a friendship going? If you do then I say lucky you and go for it! :D

If you assume you're not good enough for her, chances are she'll believe you. Start with a different question. Ask her to have coffee, a drink, a movie, something simple that is not all or nothing. Who knows, after one date you may decide she's not the girlfriend you want.

Do it :)

Even if you get rejected, it's better than living with the 'what if'.

"Do one thing every day that scares you."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Sometimes life is all about taking chances. I wish you the best.

Be strong .. just say it, or you will never know, and that may be worse !!
