Wow, all that happiness you've missed out on because you're scared of being rejected. I can sympathise there because I've spent a lifetime being frightened that if people see the real me (shy/neurotic/etc) that they won't like me.
What would it be like if you were rejected? What would happen? How would you feel? Would you survive?
