I think i'm shy but my mom and her boyfriend say I'm anti-social, I have trouble making new friends and iv'e been asked out a quite a few times but I'm afraid that they are just kidding and laugh at me. And i'm afriad to do anything to stand out of a crowd because i feel no one will like me and reject me completley. Is this normal?
it sounds like its just a phase but thats probably what everyone says. if it is as serious than you think it is then it might be a phobia and if this is the case then no it is not normal. phobias arent anything to be ashamed of, but they are not normal. just explain your situation to the people who you think will reject you, if they have any decency they will understand. im assuming you are a kid/teenager? if so then this is the time to have fun and not care what people think about you. this is the time to do shit you will probably regret later on in life but who cares? you can just blame it on the fact that you were "a stupid kid" so have fun and if someone rejects you, what does it matter? in the scope of the universe, they are just one cosmic speck of dust on a larger speck of dust in a dusty corner of the universe. there opinion doesnt count for shit. so just wing it.
Try to overcome it if you can. It's pretty normal, but it can make you feel lonely.
everyone has a fear of rejection, don't think otherwise. but, it's usually not at the degree you are feeling. being painfully shy is difficult to overcome, but there are ways. it is something to work on because you are missing out on everything.
Sometimes i feel that it is normal to have a fear of rejection becuz u dont know wat to expect wen u approach certain ppl. But wen u get older, u tend to break out of that phobia as u meet up w/ more and more ppl !!!
