A deeply human fear
Humans evolved as social beings who depended on group belonging for survival, which may explain why rejection can feel so threatening even today.
How it shows up
Fear of rejection can lead to people-pleasing, avoiding vulnerability, or avoiding new opportunities altogether.
Working with the fear
- Separate self-worth from any single outcome
- Practice small, low-stakes vulnerability
- Challenge all-or-nothing thinking about rejection
