Go with God, and BE yourself, that's the main key...worry not what others think....only what God has to say to you....
Peace and Love to you too!

First of all there are two types of fear, rational and irrational. It's actually more complex than that, but I don't have room here to write a whole book. We'll have to settle for fear of rejection falling under the "irrational" heading. An irrational fear is basically one you create for yourself.
Why would you fear rejection? If you are secure in yourself, this won't be a problem. Show your true self to the world and those who reject you won't be an issue because those who are drawn to you will come floating out of the proverbial woodwork.
If you are hiding your true self from the world out of fear of rejection, are you not rejecting yourself? This is only going to feed your irrational fear of rejection. So stop hiding, please. You're only hurting yourself and you may be depriving others of the chance to know a truly amazing human being.

What are you afraid of? Why rejection? If someone doesn't like you for what you are if you are not mean and hateful, they would not be a true friend anyhow. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get off the pity pot and stand up like a man/woman. Not being rude, just a fact of life that applies to everyone including myself.

Suppression of your self can cause you harm friend.
I'll quickly sum up what I experienced frm my life. I was too afraid to show my real self becoz I was not the womanish kind of girl as is expected of me. I didnt know how to talk warmly and please everyone as is expected of a woman. All my life I tried to be like this but I was an utter failure and I hated myself. Often I see in my life such kind of warm people but i also saw that they were the ones who took offences very easily. They talked behind peoples back and becoz of their sweet talk they were loved and appreciated more . But with me things were different. I was never judgemental with people and I loved everyone even with their shortcomings. But always I thought that I was wrong and that Im useless and People who spoke sweet words were the good ones.
But then one day I realised my worth. I began to see things in a new perspective. I understood that in my heart I loved people more than the so called warm people. I realised my true worth and from that day onwards I was not afraid to show my real self. I understood that even if im silent and wont speak a word people understood what I feel for them and my love for them is always returned in a silent way too..
What you should do is to understand the goodness in u, that makes u special from the rest of the people. This is really important. Then you will start appreciating and loving yourself and you wont be afraid of rejection again becoz u know for urself what is ur real worth. If u realise your essense, ur true self u would feel liberated and much happier..
Blessings,,

That depends on what your true self looks like...Basically people are not interested in what you are and what you feel...they just notice your behavior and condemn or appreciate it...so; we could say the easiest way to get around is to act like some kind of " transistor "...You go around and just pass information that you hear and that's it...You don't really have a personality; your personality is transforming itself within minutes and finally you find it all natural ...

You cannot. You have to forge ahead with your fear of rejection in tow.
But look at it this way - if you decide to be your authentic self, then at least you know that the people who like you, like YOU, not some facade.

In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter what others think of you it only matters what you think and more importantly what God thinks of you.
