Self-awareness helps reduce fear of rejection because, when you understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors well, you’re able to make decisions based on a healthier perception of yourself and others.
An important element of self-awareness is to understand how your fears influence your path in life. Fear of rejection can keep you from doing many meaningful things like:
- Being yourself.
- Speaking your mind.
- Making friends.
- Dating.
- Writing poetry.
- Being creative.
- Following your own path.
The key to living happily is to realize that there will always be people who don’t get what you do or who you are, but that it doesn’t matter. You’re valuable as you are and you bring amazing gifts and talents to the table. So what if you get rejected, you’re still your wonderful self.
What will you do to develop self-awareness and reduce your fear of rejection?
