Challenge: “Fear of rejection without a reason for aforementioned rejection.”

At first glance this seems simple to me, but I may get to the end of this and discover I am stupid after all.

If I am afraid of being rejected without cause it is because I am afraid that there is a cause. Say for example my partner has left me for “no reason.” This is far more terrifying than if there was an obvious reason for the rejection, because it causes uncertainty. At any point in time when we are uncertain or confused we are the most vulnerable.

As I have explained numerous times, fear of vulnerability leads to fear of death.

Use your noodle to go more in-depth if you like, or send me a note.
