"Be yourself" is one of the things every philosophy, guru, friend, teacher, parent, la dee da tells you as the number one rule of life. I tell it to myself every day but what the hell does that mean? It beats me. Because I am not one thing. I am many but I can't be all of that in one place at a certain time and day and that particular alignment of the stars. But yes, I've noticed that I am scared of rejection. I acknowledge it fully. I am super scared of rejection. I didn't strike up a few conversations because I assumed that they didn't want to talk and didn't even find out because I didn't want to get no as an answer even though that would be fine with me. I am scared of rejection. But I want to let go of that fear now. I want to roam fear-free. Practically, I could start by taking chances I didn't before. But first, I need to observe when I stop myself due to fear of rejection then only I can understand and change it.
