fear of rejection?

Anyone else have this and if so, is there a name for it? I do things even unconsciously because I'm afraid of being thought weird or stupid. I say and do things at the wrong time sometimes so I've grown to feel afraid of being myself kind of if that makes any sense

I definitely have that as well. It's very difficult for me to speak or express myself as I'm scared of being rejected. (I also have relationship-based ocd).
What has kind of helped me (encouraged by my therapist) is thinking of reasons why I am worth listening to and that I am valid and worthy of love and all that stuff. It helped me somewhat, and hopefully it will help you :)

I have pathological fear of rejection and abandonment, it all comes from BPD for me.
