fear of rejection

if i forgot any reasons why rejection is scary please share. anticipating rejection can be so irksome that it holds us back from doing things we want to accomplish. think about all the things you can do if you could conquer this fear. seriously, why is rejection so frightening. i say anytime you want do something like approach a stranger to chat, go for it. recognizing that rejection is holding you back (like in specific situations) is half the battle.
