    Honestly, don't you think we all feel that same way? Walking into a new classroom, going to a new bar or starting a new job, we are all nervous and we want people to like us and accept us, unless one is a psychopath, anyway.
    Like anything else in life, it's not what you feel, it's what you do with those feelings. Heroes are not people without fear, they are just people who do not allow their fear to rule them.
    So get on with your life and control your fears; do not let them control you.

    I am very social and charismatic and I have a lot of friends but I do have a very real fear of not being accepted. You learn to live with it and get over it and understand that if you're at least respectful, people who do not accept you will look like huge fucking tools if they're assholes to you.

    You're going to need to learn how to get over this. You have to learn not to care if someone doesn't accept you because, not everyone will.
