Hi to all of you.I have a certain problem-- I have a fear that i will be rejected if i approach some one.This is the reason i have very selective friends.I have got such a nice oppurtunity in mylot to make intellectual friends in mylot but my fear is taking over me and i m not able to approach anyone if i want to. If ever i get rejected i feel so guilty that i cannot forgive myself for it.What should i do?

I would try to overcome by rejecting people.

I do not fear rejection since I live by this little rule. If I was rejected, what did I lose? Nothing because before I was rejected, I didn't have that person. So life continues on the be normal. Only fear I have is losing someone, because you have been with the person and spent time. You will always want to spend more time, but if you lose them, they are gone.
