how many of you have fear of rejection?
or like someone here on jsh, and wont say anything strait up to the
person, just trying to be a friend but deep inside you want something
more?

now be honest !!! huh!!!

I do! Such fears are normal so I don't dwell on it.

Rejection Is from our own Being. When we reject who we are and what we
stand for. Because being whole as a soul leads to a higher
level..nothing else will matter.

Yep I do, but try to overcome them.....as for liking someone, I just
keep it to myself until I see if there are any signs to encourage me to
say something

Count me in.

I do too but I try really hard to get past it and go for it. You can't
be rejected if you never try and frankly, I'd rather be rejected than
nothing at all.

Fear of rejection, hell it happens to me every time i justsayhi.

yes i do, but who doesnt have that fear? yes i do hold back from
showing interest in others

Take a deep breath and go for what you want !!! my self today I talked
to Two girls for the first time by phone both for hours and I was
inviter to call them back !!! go for it and good luck.

I think we all have that fear,, and it tends to make us pull back,,,
Rejection is painful,, no one wants to feel it.

*Raises her hand* thats me *pulls the blanket over her head* is he gone
yet...lol...I really am an open person but sometimes that fear just
takes hold, I would rather try and be rejected than think what could
have happened if I had done something.

I agree with LAMom

but being someone who would take a risk, what's the point of having an
interest in someone and then just dwell on that thought? You should
atleast attempt.

yes, is hard sometimes to tell someone here that your interested because
you never know who is talking to who most of the time
so yes is hard to tell a person your interested,
with the fear that the person would tell you
" well Im seen someone or talking to someone"
it does not matter how nice they are about it is hard

Oddly enough, fear of rejection isn't my issue.

With that being said, one would think that I was flamboyant, but I use
to be really shy and sometime I still am. I have overcome most of my
shyness, but it still creeps up on me now and then.

I dont have that fear, honestly. The fear of rejection makes no sense
to me. Thats always been one of my strong sides, confidence.

yes okay thats me

Not at all. In fact, wearing my heart on my sleeve has been detrimental
to my relationships, I think. Men are intimidated, I think, by women who
share their feelings, rather than playing coy, contrary to what a lot of
them say.

But I'm just no good at playing "the game." And I don't think I ever
could. So the thought of getting rejected doesn't really bother me
...not enough to keep me from taking chances, anyway.

BEING rejected, however, isn't quite as easy to deal with...but I
recover pretty quickly and easily from it.

Way I figure it, he's not the only pebble on the beach; there's a Little
Rock in Arkansas. If I miss this bus, another one will be along any
minute. You know, stuff like that.

I think most do but how I deal with it is just take the action and see
what happens Yeah for a sec or two I might feel weird but it goes fast
as far as liking someone on JSH I think they all already know lol

(((((((((shadow)))))))))))
how are you my friend?
I do have fear of refection, and can't help it!!

not me!! rejection is a part of life
doesnt bother me a bit... and move on
