I'm Scared, Will I Be Hurt?

Most of us have felt that fear at some point. The question we get to ask ourselves is what are we doing with that fear? Are we hiding behind our posturing or performing our distance making? Is it easier to say, I'm going to be a really funny person to make myself be liked and in that way I'll secure connection from everyone that I'm with? Or is it more honest to say,. I'm scared of being rejected?
