Fear of rejection is the fear of unacceptance. This refers to the
fear that their personality or appearance will not be accepted or made fun of.
This can lead to forms of
social anxiety or supposed awkwardness. Due to this
fear of rejection, conversations with this person can be inhibited.
"I'm gonna go
talk to Bob today and see if we can be friends... Oh, but he's already friends with
Benny.
What if he doesn't like me? What if I say something stupid? He'll probably hate me anyway. I won't talk to him. I have a bad fear of rejection." - thoughts of Tyler
