Why do we feel the fear of rejection?

Because we don't want our mental plans to be destructed, every rejection to us is unplanned because we won't know what to do, so we tend to reject the idea of.. rejection, and this makes the fear grow more and more.

The reason we fear rejection has to do with our brain. Rejection was a big deal for your Hunter-Gatherer ancestors, because expulsion from a group meant they had to wander alone, which certainly leads to death. So, our brains have evolved to look at rejection as a dangerous situation, and we will do anything to stay within a group, even though our stakes are clearly not as high.

I think it's mostly the humiliation; we've put so much on monogamist relationships and relationships in general that it has become ingrained in to culture and status, being turned down is almost like being told you aren't worthy but in all honesty no one really cares.

We fear rejection mostly because we want to belong to something. It gives us control. A lot of this fear can be removed by something that is constant- a faith in God. Examine what you've learned in school- find the truth and hold to it.

Fear of rejection is something shared by all of us. We feel the fear of rejection because it paralyzes progress in our lives. We have learned that when an idea of ours is accepted, we are congratulated, admired, and praised. When we succeed at something, we are congratulated, admired, and praised. But when when an idea of ours is rejected, we take it more personally. We think people are rejecting us as individuals. Likewise, when we fail at a goal, we take it out on ourselves and think we failed as individuals. The truth is that rejection is a necessary part of life. We constantly reject ideas, challenges, and situations in order to live a healthy life. A lot of times when we feel rejected, it may not be us as people being rejected. It may be one particular idea, or approach, or a situation.

It is natural to wish to be a part of something. Human-kind as a species is naturally inclined to work together to survive, the feeling of rejection connects to a deep seeded fear of being alone or unprotected.

I think your feeling of being rejected might mean that you're afraid of not being good enough or maybe afraid of ending up alone.

Rejection is basically what it states: A 'reject'. We feel this fear because we have a strong feeling that we would be pushed back/away from and it would scar us for life. In this case, we need to learn to accept that fear. If we don't accept it, life would be hard the further we dig into it. Hope this helps!!

We all have a desire in us to be accepted. Face it, to us, we're a phenomenal person. We fear that others may not see us how we see us. It can cause us to believe that maybe we think too highly of ourselves.

We all fear rejection because we are scared that we set ourselves up to get hurt in the end by our actions or words
