Why do we feel the fear of rejection?

Because it hurts or embarrasses us to feel like people or society doesn't accept us. Which makes us feel like an outsider and different from everyone else and it's human nature to want to feel apart of a group and fit in with society. But sometimes we have to put ourselves out there and take chances, rejection is apart of life and everyone goes through it.

because we as humans feel the need the urge to belong, to fit within' a group. and the thought of being rejected, equals not belonging to any of these groups. and we sometimes concentrate so much on wanting to be accepted, and would do anything, that we sometimes lose the real us, who we are, and what and where we truly want to be. forgetting the most important thing. that out there, there is a place to everyone of us. without us trying hard, just by being true to ourselves. Rejection is not real. rejection is just a fear. and fears can be controlled, and if determined, one can over come them .

People fear rejection, its immensely common, heck, I fear it constantly. Maybe its mainly because of this feeling inside us that pushes us to be accepted by those around us, to fit in and not feel isolated. We mainly seek reassurance to be honest, and that too, from other people. We want to be sure that the people we sorround ourselves with actually want for us to be there. But do we need reassurance from other people? I like to think that maybe we might just need to find reassurance within ourelves.

Inclusion and acceptance are natural needs for feeling loved. Rejection makes us feel unloved and ashamed.

Because if you really care about someone or something, you don't want to loose it, and you fear from loosing it

We are socail beings. We seek and need social approval. And when we don't have that, it creats anxiety. About the fear of rejection....this happens with everyone. There are a certain group of people with whom you identify and wish to seek their approval. But what we should do is to love and accept ourselves no matter what.

We feel the fear of rejection because we all want to feel like we are wanted, and when we are rejected, we feel unwanted. This is untrue, however, because everyone matters and there will come a time when we won't fear it anymore

i think we fear rejection because we fear that it'll confirm the theory we all have inside us , that there is something wrong with us . its a perfectly natural feeling to want to avoid , since it can feel all too personal , when in reality rejection usually isn't that personal to began with , we just dont realize we choose to take it that way .

We feel this fear because we had bad past experience which leads to decreased self-esteem. Overcoming this will lead to removing fear of rejection

nobody likes to feel rejected- it makes us build up a wall of perfection, it makes people feel as if we cant be who we truly are, and i think this is why we fear it so much- rejection is based on whether someone likes you as a human being, and being rejected feels as if they are saying they dont like who you truly are, which can cause lumps and lumps of self hate sitting there on our shoulders dragging us down- the reason we fear rejection is because we fear sadness, and as we are being rejected for who we truly are- rejection will often lead to it.

Because we don't want our mental plans to be destructed, every rejection to us is unplanned because we won't know what to do, so we tend to reject the idea of.. rejection, and this makes the fear grow more and more.

The reason we fear rejection has to do with our brain. Rejection was a big deal for your Hunter-Gatherer ancestors, because expulsion from a group meant they had to wander alone, which certainly leads to death. So, our brains have evolved to look at rejection as a dangerous situation, and we will do anything to stay within a group, even though our stakes are clearly not as high.

I think it's mostly the humiliation; we've put so much on monogamist relationships and relationships in general that it has become ingrained in to culture and status, being turned down is almost like being told you aren't worthy but in all honesty no one really cares.

We fear rejection mostly because we want to belong to something. It gives us control. A lot of this fear can be removed by something that is constant- a faith in God. Examine what you've learned in school- find the truth and hold to it.

Fear of rejection is something shared by all of us. We feel the fear of rejection because it paralyzes progress in our lives. We have learned that when an idea of ours is accepted, we are congratulated, admired, and praised. When we succeed at something, we are congratulated, admired, and praised. But when when an idea of ours is rejected, we take it more personally. We think people are rejecting us as individuals. Likewise, when we fail at a goal, we take it out on ourselves and think we failed as individuals. The truth is that rejection is a necessary part of life. We constantly reject ideas, challenges, and situations in order to live a healthy life. A lot of times when we feel rejected, it may not be us as people being rejected. It may be one particular idea, or approach, or a situation.

It is natural to wish to be a part of something. Human-kind as a species is naturally inclined to work together to survive, the feeling of rejection connects to a deep seeded fear of being alone or unprotected.

I think your feeling of being rejected might mean that you're afraid of not being good enough or maybe afraid of ending up alone.

Rejection is basically what it states: A 'reject'. We feel this fear because we have a strong feeling that we would be pushed back/away from and it would scar us for life. In this case, we need to learn to accept that fear. If we don't accept it, life would be hard the further we dig into it. Hope this helps!!

We all have a desire in us to be accepted. Face it, to us, we're a phenomenal person. We fear that others may not see us how we see us. It can cause us to believe that maybe we think too highly of ourselves.

We all fear rejection because we are scared that we set ourselves up to get hurt in the end by our actions or words
