Your Thoughts Will Heal or Hurt You w/ Marisa Peer EP 1427
The School of Greatness
The Fear of Rejection
The fear of rejection stems from our innate drive to find connection and avoid rejection. This fear is deeply rooted in our survival instinct, as rejection historically meant death or isolation. However, embracing the fear of rejection is essential for personal growth. By facing our fears and putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations, such as approaching someone we're attracted to or speaking in public, we can build confidence and overcome the fear. It is crucial to recognize that rejection is not a reflection of our worth, but rather a personal preference or opinion. We have the power to choose whether we let rejection affect us or not. Teaching children that they cannot be rejected and encouraging them to take risks and ask for what they want is essential for their development. By embracing rejection and not giving it power over us, we can live authentically and pursue our goals without fear of judgment or criticism.
