One of the hard parts for me is not being in control, but I realise trying to have control over something like this is very hard

As for working on your issues - good for you! Sounds like you're well on your way already with the social exercises
Good work..

I've found this year with rejection that even when you do get rejected, often the people who reject you still like you, it just wasn't a perfect fit.

I've found in an area I have lots of confidence (with my art) that I take a rejection and might be slightly hurt, but am always strengthened by the rejection, because I see it as perfect feedback..

In social situations I guess I always feel I've got to protect my ego from being vulnerable, or hurt, so have to work on that one, I think..
