how to get past the fear of rejection
i am crippled by the fear of rejection, even though i've been rejected countless times throughout my life, by guys and girls....i have lived alone for 17 years now, and i've never made any adult relationships....but there is a woman on facebook who ive been messaging for years, sending each other nice messages, she is in her 50s and i am mid 40s........each time she replies to my messages, i get scared to check her reply in case it's a form of rejection?
i suppose i build my hopes up with people, especially women, build up a fantasy and get afraid to actually interact in case i get rejected?
how can i finally get over this fear, is what i want to know.
