Honestly, do you guys fear rejection from someone if you really like them? Me, nah. I got over my fear of rejection a long time ago (5 minutes ago) and generally it's easy for me to get by. Usually when someone rejects you I think they're the ones missing out on good things and they were likely pretty stupid in someways or it just wouldn't work. What do you guys think?

I think it's in human nature to fear rejection. I mean, doesn't the brain treat it as physical pain? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere

I am a robot. I do not fear rejection. Jokes aside, I don't. Plainly because i don't plan to get a wife/gf or anything. |

Eh, to feel rejection would mean I'm trying to be accepted. I just let any friendships form naturally and have no desire for romance.

I've been rejected romantically once. Felt hard, but I got over it, and nowadays I tend not to care.
Still, I've built a self-defense mechanism of not letting people get close to me. I'm naturally very weird, so that most people back off.
Is that social anxiety, or something like that? I'm not sure.

Yes, I fear it every time I open my mouth to ask someone for a favor or just even offer a suggestion to get things done quicker. I fear that every time I open my mouth to talk, I'm going to be told "No" in the harshest ways possible regardless of what it is I'm going to say.
And the worst part is that I know this is not something that's natural in my case. It's a friggin learned behavior because that's how I've been treated for what feels like my entire life. Maybe some day I'll get over it, but until then it's just one more brick in the pile of personal issues I have that keeps me from getting out there and doing the stuff I want to do.

Yes, I've always feared rejection. Not romantically (never wanted to ask a girl out), but in any way.
I feel like researcherwisemon describes how I feel pretty well.
I've been getting better though. My parents are as accepting of me as they can be, and I have friends that would not be afraid or refuse to do something reasonably for me. Of course, they aren't all yes-men, but through a combination of love and friendship, I've learned to open my mouth just a little bit more.
Let's make that always, hm?

Yes, romance indeed. Socially I never cared. Romance. I had issues at first but I threw those aside too. |

I personally give just about zero shits about social stuff. I have my close group of friends, and I'm 0k with that.

I'm super shy so I guess that is pretty indicative of my being afraid of rejection on some level. But tbh romantically I don't care, probably because I suck at relationships and I push people away, so honestly I'm more afraid of rejecting someone I care about for no reason other than I am really bad at letting people in.
Rejection is easy, man. Caring about people and being responsible for it is what's really scary.

Yeah, I suck at relationships too, because I'm too lazy. I don't want to dedicate myself to caring about someone else, providing for them. All I can do is emotional support, and most people don't like that. If you say you love me, I'd say for you to show yourself out. Not because I don't love you back, but because that, if we got in a relationship, I'd just do more harm than good.
