update
please post updates because the fear of rejection never lets me do anything. Maybe a real example of "the worst they can say is no" will help

Once in high school I asked a guy to prom, and even though he said no, I felt really good after. One of the only times that “empowered” really felt like the right word for how I was feeling in that moment. I had a question and he answered it, so I could stop thinking about it. I usually am terrified of rejection so I feel you. But with this I’m gonna be sacrificing pride so I can have peace. I think that’s why pride is a sin. If you’re so focused on your image and others’ perception of you, you can’t do any of the things that you need.

@MARY-13.0.17.17 I love that meme of a lady replying to a question on her story with "i think you guys might be thinking about yourselves too much".

FACING YOUR FEAR OF REJECTION
I have a heavy dose of social anxiety so I have quite a difficult time making friends. My brother is the complete opposite of me, so he encourages me to reach out to people all the time. I usually never do it but I’ve been so fed up with feeling unsatisfied and lonely. So I messaged a few people I went to college with yesterday and they all want to hang out!! I was so scared of getting rejected. But even if they were to reject me, I think having this skill is something I’ll be grateful for in the long run. Even if it feels really scary now.

ANTI-REC: SOCIAL ANXIETY
why is talking to people who i want to be friends with so stressful?? i saw this guy today who volunteers at the radio station i volunteer at, and who i’ve seen play with his band a few shows, and is friends with my friends, but has no idea who i am. i stood off to the side for ten minutes trying to work up the courage to say hello, sweating, getting a stomach ache, itchy, blushing. in the end i just left without saying anything. why is it so hard!

Oversharing
Cathartic. Who cares if I'm subconsciously scaring people off prematurely because I insecurely fear rejection, Mr. Therapist!

i do not trust women who are not at least a little angry
Rage is such an inherently feminine trait and living with the subtle jabs and taunts at your mere existence should be enough of a reason to feel that anger. A woman who isn't angry is either submissive of her mistreatment or apathetic, both of which are not qualities I would want in friendships. So this is a rule I abide by. I may not necessarily only befriend people who explicitly call themselves feminists but i trust angry women more. A girl who cannot stand up for herself wouldn't do a great job at defending her friends, I believe.

20
How was I so much smarter at 16? I lived in my own little bubble and rejected everything else that made me feel worthless. I stood up for myself more times than I can count. 20 means nothing. I am more confused than ever. I don't know why I take decisions. I fail at everything I do. I constantly search for what I once was.

hatred and true colours
Hearing a person talk about someone they hate is always an experience for me. If you validate their disdain for a person, they spew the most hateful things. I've seen the sweetest of people, fatshame, slutshame or talk about someone's parents with such spite. I mean there are people I hate with all my existence too, but where do you draw the line with your morals? Does such intense emotion really make people so blind, that they think its excusable since the other person is also terrible or do they just show their true colours?
