what are some self-defense mechanisms u have? for me, i noticed that whenever i feared rejection, i would create a persona for the person to reject that wasn't me, so that the person would be rejecting that creation and not me. but i regret now not giving the girl the chance to really know, even if it would hurt. is this mechanism healthy, and what are your mechanisms?

Cast all your cares on Him, for he cares for you. 1Peter 5:6 Netbible
I don't know the problem personally but I know I have been rejected so much in my life. I know you want to stop since you have fears of it being unhealthy. The only way you can is by having a personal relationship with Jesus. Read below.
Jesus gives us a restored fellowship with God. How can He? He is God. Here is how. If you trust in Jesus as your Savior, If you believe He came down from heaven and took on the form of a man and lived a sinless life. According to the scriptures died on a cross for our sins and on the third day rose from the dead. Then accended into heaven according to the scriptures then you will have eternal life. Place your trust in Him.

One I use is suppression. I purposely put things out of my mind. I also use procrastination. I'm now able to use sublimation, taking frustrations out in a positive manner, than displacement. Those are a few.
Your defense mechanism sounds like reaction formation. That is when your wishes are perceived as dangerous and you do the opposite of what you truly want. It is normal. People use defense mechanisms everyday. At least you becoming aware of your actions.

For me, my self defense is getting angry. Anger is one of self defense mechanism and you are angry because you are afraid, does it make sense?
