Does your shyness & fear of getting rejected keep you from having the relationships you want? Are you lonely much of the time?
Everyone gets rejected at times, but for those of us who are socially confident, rejection is a minor matter
& people who are confident quickly bounce back from being rejected.
For some
of us however, rejection is a traumatic event & just the thought that someone might possibly reject us is enough to make us run away from the very people we want to get to know.
People who suffer from a fear of rejection sometimes start to believe that they're deeply flawed, unlovable human beings.
When
they look at others who are socially successful, they assume that socially successful people are different & better human
beings.
People who fear being rejected believe that when someone rejects them, it's because the other person realizes how deeply flawed they are.
They believe the rejection was their own fault.
They don't realize that even very
confident, very attractive people get rejected too.
People who fear rejection don't realize that the real reason that relationships either happen or don't happen depends on how compatible the
combination is of the two people involved.
Instead people who are very afraid of rejection think that every time they make an overture to someone else, it's a referendum on their own personal worth.
Relationships are largely a question of compatibility on many levels.
So,
when we get turned down by somebody, it's not some kind of proof that we are deeply flawed.
It
just means the other person didn't think we were a good match at this particular time.
It's a fact of life that when we make
social overtures to other people, we face the risk that people will sometimes reject us. The only people who never experience rejection are those who never interact with other human beings. Otherwise, everyone
occasionally experiences situations in which they're rejected. You might get turned down for coffee, for a dance, for a party,
a relationship, or even for marriage.
When we experience rejection, we can tell ourselves that we are doomed to be rejected forever; that any rejection from another person is proof that we are somehow not good enough & that we were wrong to ever think that another person could like us.
But is this the only way to look at rejection? Remember that people who have healthy self- esteem, who are outgoing & who make lots of social overtures to others,
get rejected too. The difference is that they don’t feel nearly as troubled by rejection. They don’t take it personally.
Rejection is often much more troubling to those people who are very emotionally sensitive, who have low self-esteem, or who have had
a very dysfunctional or abusive childhood.
Some people are so terrified by the prospect of rejection that they never make a social approach to another person. This is unfortunate, since avoidance will reinforce their fears & increase their loneliness.
When you intensely fear rejection, you may arrange your whole life to avoid any situations that can trigger your terror.
You'll be convinced that getting rejected by someone is the most horrible thing that could ever happen to you. You never get a chance to expose yourself to the feared situation & learn how to overcome your fear.
However, if you actually confront the situations in which you feel anxious, your
anxiety may lessen as you become more used to dealing with the feared event. By proving to yourself that you can face up to your fears, they'll eventually lose their power over you.
If you have made relatively few social
approaches to other people, each one will loom very large in your imagination. Every rejection will seem to reverberate as a humiliating failure & you may convince yourself that you'll never again muster the courage
to approach another human being.
One way to overcome the fear of making social overtures is to simply persist in making many, many approaches to other people.
If you're terrified of rejection, you may have thoughts like, “My self worth depends totally on whether other people approve of me & accept me. If people don't approve
of me, I’ll be completely devastated & feel horrible because it means I’m worthless. If anyone rejects me
it means that probably everyone will continue to reject me my whole life.”
We can become so completely overwhelmed by the negative
emotions that follow this sort of thinking that we don’t notice what distortions we have introduced into our thinking processes.
If you persist in developing the habit of making many
social overtures to other people, you'll come to realize that occasional rejection is simply a part of life. It doesn't mean you're a flawed human being.
The way
you can be totally rejection-proof is if you give up absolutely all interactions with other human beings for the rest of your
life!
Is that something you're really willing to do? There are occasionally extreme
cases of people who adopt this option. For the great majority of us however, giving up all social connection is too high a
price to pay to avoid the occasional pain that sometimes accompanies human interaction.
There
is good news though. Even if you're very emotionally sensitive or shy, even if you didn’t get much emotional support as you were growing up, you can still learn to change the way you talk
to yourself about the experience of rejection.
You'll have to practice a lot to change the way you think about rejection & if your problem is extreme, you may benefit from a good therapist who can show you new, more supportive ways of thinking & relating to others & to yourself.
  
I'm Afraid .... I'm OK
By Alan Lowen
All that stands in the way of our great
actions is our fear of them, of what will happen if...
Our great actions may not necessarily bring us fame or fortune.
It can be a great action to consciously choose with your partner to bring a child into the world, or to object to someone’s
cruelty, or to quit your job, or to take your vacation in Peru, or to go and work for the International Red Cross in Bangladesh,
or to open your own art gallery.
If I look back at my own great actions over the years, and the missed opportunities
too, I see that what made the difference was my relationship to my own fear. Sometimes I let it stop me; other times I acted
anyway. To do what I’m afraid to do because it matters that much has always felt good. Conversely, my saddest memory
is of a certain occasion when I was too afraid to say Yes. I will always carry the wound this caused, and I let it be every
day of my life a guide and teacher, reminding me of how important it is to be willing to breathe through my fears instead
of being stopped by them.
I’m not talking about learning to be fearless. Fearlessness is a "battlefield mentality".
True, it sometimes enables people to accomplish awesomely brave feats, and some people enjoy fearlessness so much that they
spend their lives in pursuit of life-threatening adventures. Fearless people can perform brave or reckless actions because
they don’t feel much. They are desensitized, often as a result of having suffered an abusive childhood in which they
had to learn to protect themselves by shutting down their feelings. Or they may have been raised in stoic families or cultures
to endure everything and fear nothing. Again, essentially this requires a denial or rejection of all tender and vulnerable
feelings.
I’m talking about something more genuinely courageous; being fully aware of your fear and choosing
to act anyway. Your action arises out of full acceptance of what you are feel-ing and of all the con-sequences of your action,
whatever they may be. The learning is not about enduring without feeling, but about being willing to experience everything
that happens in you, and to live anyway. This is learning that transforms your whole being!
Your Life is Hidden in Your
Fear
Virtually the first lesson people learn in all Art of Being workshops is to become aware of their feelings, or
of how they are suppressing their feelings. Your feelings are like the weather. You don’t decide what the weather will
be like. The weather is what the weather is! What you can do is learn to have a healthy relationship with whatever you are
feeling. The healthiest relationship you can have, and the most heart-warming and nourishing, is friendship. As you become
aware of your feelings and fears you can gradually learn to be friendly towards everything that they ever experience.
I
grew up in a world where the people around me did not respect my feelings. How could they? They did not respect their own.
Whenever I felt tender, sad, vulnerable, I tried to suppress those feelings. But sometimes my feelings were so strong that
they would overwhelm my defences against them and I would end up in tears, or just feeling really helpless and lost. That
felt like defeat; "they" had won and I had lost. Because there was no one around to help me to trust my tender feelings it
took me many years to discover that surrendering to them wasn’t defeat. It took me even longer to learn to trust and
surrender to my feelings of joy and ecstasy. I didn’t know I was afraid of being joyous. It just wasn’t something
that I could fully allow; I always had to maintain a certain amount of restraint. How very English of me!
But this
is the way it is with what we fear in ourselves. We don’t notice what we’re missing because we are used to not
feeling it, whether it is joy or sadness or anger or sexual or whatever. Many, many people in our culture are petrified. What
a perfect word! It means very afraid, beyond terrified; and it means turned to stone. When our fear is extreme, we live in
a petrified state. Whatever is too fearful for us we deaden; or maybe we just half-deaden it because what we fear is our own
intensity and excitement.
So this is why I make a point during my workshops of directing people over and over again
towards awareness of their feelings, or of the dead holes where their feelings would be if those feelings had not been driven
into hiding. Then gradually they can begin to restore life to whatever they are afraid of in themselves, as long as they are
willing to feel afraid. This is an essential requirement because the first thing that you are going to feel if you have petrified
some part of yourself and you begin to say hello to it, is afraid. Of course, because what caused you to deaden it in the
first place was your fear.
You Are Already Good Enough for Existence
You had to put your joyousness away because
it made your serious father angry and that scared you. You became frightened of your erotic feelings because you grew up always
feeling your mother’s sexual shame, or God’s condemnation handed down to you in no uncertain terms by teachers,
priests and puritans. You grew up terrified of anger because your alcoholic father taught you that anger equals violence.
You desensitized your skin because nobody stroked and massaged your body in the days and weeks after you were born; and so
to be touched sensually and lovingly thirty years later would arouse all your petrified infantile longing for contact.
Ah,
how many ways we have become afraid, and mostly hardly aware of the fact at all! But if you become willing to feel these fears,
or even just the deadness in yourself, then life reappears. If there is someone there with you who can say to you, "It’s
OK, breathe, let yourself feel it, you’re allowed to be scared" so that you keep finding the courage to be afraid, then
your fear gradually becomes excitement. After all, this is what fear is! Trembling is an excited state. So is your pulse racing,
your palms getting sweaty, your breath coming hard and fast, and so on: all excitement!
There is magic in this excitement;
it begins to awaken the feelings and experiences you are afraid of. At this moment your whole conditioning starts ringing
alarm bells warning you to shut down. At first you may need to do this too, just to feel safe. Then gradually, knowing that
you have this old dead safe state that you can return to whenever you need, you can begin to feel more and more of what you
had become afraid of in yourself.
An old, long-dead English psychologist used to say "you are good enough". That’s
beautiful! As you learn to let yourself be you gradually realize that who you already are is good enough. After all, you’re
good enough for existence! You begin to see that other people’s judgements about you are reflections of their own unfriended
fears. They judge in you what they are not friendly towards in themselves.
This doesn’t mean that you’re
always loving and caring. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have moments of unkindness, coldness, meanness and
so on, and being friendly towards yourself in such moments doesn’t mean saying, "My unkindness is good enough". No,
it means you are friendly towards the feelings that are causing you to behave meanly. Instead of judging yourself for being
mean the way others probably judge you, you are willing to feel everything that is going on in your unkindness.
Have
you ever had the experience of being loved by someone when you were being ugly or mean or cruel? I think those moments have
opened me up, broken my heart open and dissolved my nastiness more than anything else. To be loved anyway is one of life’s
great healing experiences. I believe we all need, many times in our lives, to experience being loved this way by someone,
preferably by our parents from the day we are born, so that we can learn how to give this kind of love to ourselves (and then
to our children and each other).
To allow yourself to feel everything that is going on in you when you are being unkind
transforms you because you are so much more than just unkindness. Behind that is the pain and hurt that triggered your unkindness.
Opening up to these wounds in a spirit of friendliness is what surrender really means, and it is the beginning of your healing.
If you keep surrendering in friendship, you will eventually learn to love.
Unlike far
too many people on the Internet, I don’t claim to have discovered THE CURE for panic attacks and other anxiety states.
I do offer you a beautifully simple insight into panic which will change your reaction to it. Immediately you’ll start
you on the path to calm. The insight?
“Accept your panic symptoms and ….they’ll go. Fight them, and
they’ll intensify.”
Look at that word ‘INTENSify’. It’s about TENSing up. Becoming worried
and even more panicky about….what? Your feelings of panic. Once you really genuinely realise that they’re only
feelings, you’ll also come to accept that feeling alone can’t harm you.
Yes, I know you don’t want
them.
Yes, I know that they are frightening and uncomfortable.
But tell me this, my sweet one, “in the
past, has tensing up and worrying even more about feeling panicky helped those feelings to dissipate?” Your answer?
I know it’s NO.
Just so you’re very clear: tensing up and fighting your symptoms of panic help did not
help in the past. It will NOT HELP YOU today. Tensing up and worrying will not help you in the future.
One person
selling his e-book on the Internet claims that that 'float with your panic' insight is his unique discovery to send panic
away. The truth? The truth is that we’ve known for decades that instead of fighting panic and tensing up, you must do
the opposite. More than three decades ago, the Australian General Practitioner the late Dr Claire Weekes advised people that
instead of fighting panic and tensing up, they should float into their panic, and welcome it like an old friend.
From
my counselling practice, I know that you know there’s nothing to fear. At a rational level. At an emotional level, you
still feel overwhelmed. For many of you, the fact that you can’t explain why you feel so terrified is often the most
upsetting.
FEAR OF FEAR ITSELF
Once you accept that there is no real danger, you’ll see that your real and
lingering fear IS THE FEAR OF THE PANICKY FEELINGS. If you let those inappropriate messages of fear come and do their worst,
you’d learn how to send those fears packing.
So to summarise: When your pulse races, your heart pounds, do the
opposite of what you normally do. Do this:
STOP !
SMILE…
even though you mightn’t want
to
B R E A T H E… D E E P L Y…
O B S E R V E…
OBSERVE YOUR FEAR…. FLOATING
AWAY…
MIMIC MOTHER NATURE - FLOW WITH THE HURRICANE
Just as the grass and the trees sway with the wind,
rather than rigidly resist it, let your fear feelings come. Then, just observe what happens as if watching a science experiment.
You
might want to practise that simple approach at home a few times. You’ll soon see how well it works. I know you can make
yourself feel great fear. Bring back those memories of your last panic episode. Right now. Recall every detail. Feel those
fear symptoms and now…. just accept them.
That’s right. I’m not saying TRY to do anything. I’m
not saying try to relax. I’m not saying try to divert yourself from your fear-filled thoughts.
I am saying –
do absolutely nothing. Accept your feelings.
USE OF DIVERSION
If you normally use various tricks to divert you
from the intense feelings of fear, please reconsider that tactic. It may help in the short term, but all those tactics (counting
backwards, counting bricks, etc), keep you imprisoned in what Dr R Reid Wilson calls ‘the panic cycle’. They can
become habits, and as difficult to break as the panic cycle itself. Please visit Dr Wilson’s wonderful website for more
information: anxieties.com
When you recognise your role in your own panic episodes, you’re 90% closer to the
solution, to a life without panic attacks. Next time you feel the first fluttering of fear and panic follow the simple steps
above.
If you’ve been experiencing anxiety and panic for a while, I have to let you know that it’s your
fear of the fear-filled symptoms that feed your panic. You are a major part of your problem. But you’re also the total
solution.
IT'S ALL IN THE MIND - YOUR MIND
As I point out in my self help e-kit Calming Words, if you feel terrified
standing in that queue at the supermarket, or sitting in the middle of the row at the cinema, the feelings you feel are fine.
They’re a perfect reaction to…danger. Where none exists.
Your mind sent the wrong message “danger,
danger” to your body. Your body has then had the right reaction to that danger message – it’s sent the adrenaline
surging to get you out of danger. To end with the good news: those messages can be rewritten, re-learned. That’s why
I wrote Calming Words (www.calmingwords.com)!

Frightened....
Frightened to death by a return to Afghanistan
February 22 2003
Habib Wahedy thought he would die if he was sent home. Penelope Debelle reports on the suicide of a man driven by paranoia
& fear.
The suicide of Habib Wahedy, an Afghan refugee, near Adelaide 2 weeks ago was so unexpected his terrified flatmate followed the body to hospital to make sure it was really him.
Mr Wahedy, 46, died in a state of paranoia, convinced immigration officials
were on his trail, tapping his phone & watching every move. His temporary visa was due to expire on April 11 & he
believed he would die if he returned to Afghanistan, telling immigration officials at Port Hedland 3 years ago that he would kill
himself if he was sent home.
Dale West, the director of a Catholic welfare group, believes the Department of Immigration's offer of $2000 & a ticket home, which has been made to thousands of Afghans here on temporary
protection visas, may have pushed Mr Wahedy over the edge. "Someone with his state of mind, a letter like that could easily
have tipped him," he said.
Mr Wahedy, who leaves a wife & 3 children in Kabul, was from the ethnic Hazara community in Afghanistan,
which the Sunni Muslim Taliban persecuted because of their Shi'ite faith. He was upset - as are many Australian Afghans -
by the recent murder by bandits of 3 Hazara men who were returning home from a refugee camp in Pakistan. The 3 men had brothers
in Australia & a prayer service was held for them at an Adelaide mosque, about a week before Mr. Wahedy died.

"I certainly believe that UFOs are really on occasion extraterrestrial
craft visiting earth, so to me that means that our government, our military at some level they know they're here, and they're
either frightened of them because they don't know, or they wish to figure a way to defend against
them."

Dog Frightened by Thunder
Q. My 5 year-old
border collie is really frightened when thunder, lightening, or heavy rain occurs - she
dives under a bed or table or beneath a desk & sometimes stays for hours before she comes out. Any suggestions that would
help her overcome this?
A. One of my own dogs
has a similar fear & she'll do just about anything to get away from the wicked storm.
It's an irrational fear. I believe the anxiety begins well before the lightening, thunder, or rain hits. I think that dogs feel the change in atmospheric pressure that usually precedes storms & their state is worsened once the snap,
crackle & pop come into play.

Frightened Children
by DavidNYC
Mon Sep 12, 2005 at 10:05:52 AM PDT
(Bumped -- kos)
Oliver Willis catches an absurd - but revealing - remark coming out of the mouth
of Brian Williams, NBC's lead anchor. Williams actually admits that the media has
been obeisant to Bush & offers this explanation:
"By dint of the fact that our country was hit we've offered a preponderance of
the benefit of the doubt over the past couple of years."
This is the posture of a frightened
child. When you're a young kid, especially in a scary situation, you look to the adults
around you to protect you & (assuming you haven't yet reached your teenage years) you probably trust them almost unquestioningly. It only makes sense, after all, when you're at age when much of life is still a mystery &
you're too young to handle the world on your own.
But for an adult to act this way is downright embarrassing -& for the media to do so is, as I say, simply absurd. Adults are capable of exercising critical faculties to judge on their own whether a government (& its leaders) are able to adequately protect them. For the media, it's their obligation to do so. One major attack - however monstrous & terrifying - doesn't erase this
responsibility.
And what's more, even if you did feel compelled to give
Bush the benefit of the doubt vis-a-vis Osama, al Qaeda & terrorism, there's no reason for that courtesy to extend to
every area of governance. But of course it has - the mainstream media has been a lickspittle for Bush on nearly all
matters, domestic & foreign.
Brian Williams claims that Katrina might jolt the media out
of their subservience, but I've already expressed my skepticism about that numerous times. In a scary
world like the one we live in, it's a hell of a lot easier to be a kid than an adult & that's clearly the role
our media prefers to play. I just don't see any reason why it will ever shake free of this Peter Pan syndrome.
I had my moments when I got
very frightened that I would not recover.

Bullying In The Work Place
By
Sarah Binding
When most people hear the word bullying they automatically think of bullying in schools. However there's another kind of bullying that is happening every day & all over the country.
Bullying in the work place is all too common & it's a very
frightening & isolating experience for those who suffer at the hands of the bullies.
Victims are made to feel frightened,
useless & full of shame & embarrassment. Being bullied at work can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, complete
loss of self confidence, panic attacks, withdrawal, many various health problems & in some cases suicidal feelings or actual suicide.
A boss, a colleague, or another member of staff may suddenly start picking on
someone for a variety of different reasons, none of which are the fault of the victim. They may do it when no one else is around, making obscene comments, threats, or gestures, ensuring guilt & shame & therefore silence.
The bully feels powerful, strong & in control. On the other hand, they may do it in front of a group of people, belittling, shouting, or even completely ignoring the person.
This makes the bully feel big & powerful in front of others & makes the victim feel isolated from the group, worthless
& very often, stupid.
Other members of the group may realize what's going on, but feel too frightened to speak up or defend the victim, in case the bully turns on them.
Bullies can work in other ways too; they can pick on someone in less obvious, but equally
as hurtful, ways. Responsibilities may be taken away; deadlines may be brought forward at short notice, entitled leave may
be denied, or forced to work longer hours without any reward.
It may be that hard work is ignored, or as soon as a tiny mistake is
made they're jumped on immediately & ‘disciplined’. Every day is full of dread & fear. Some people don’t
realize that what is happening to them is actually bullying, as it's done so discretely & so it's allowed to continue for some time.
The victim is made to believe that what the bully is telling them is actually true. It may seem that there is no way out, no way to stop
this monster & no one to tell.
If you're being bullied at work here are some points to remember about bullies:
-
Bullies are in reality cowards & they need to feel that they're better than you, the only way they know how to do this is by
bullying
- Bullies are frightened that they'll reveal to others that they're
actually incompetent at their job & other areas of their lives, so to stop this from happening they pick on someone else.
- Bullies are control freaks & need to feel that they have the upper hand.
- Bullies are cheats, liars, deceptive & manipulative.
- Bullies are incompetent, jealous, bitter & angry.
- If a bully tells you that you're useless, incompetent, lazy, weak or any other negative aspect, they're
actually talking about themselves.
- They'll pick on your most vulnerable asset & make it out to be 10 times worse than it actually
is, this is to make you feel bad about yourself & it also makes you believe what they say.
- Bullies can be charming & very deceitful, making it difficult for the victim to be believed by others.
- Bullies thrive on fear, guilt, shame, embarrassment & most of all, silence.
Being bullied can have devastating effects, which can last for years after it has taken place. If you feel that you're being bullied
or where bullied in the past, please don’t hesitate in getting help.
Remember: it's the bully who is in the wrong, not you.

I think suicide is sort of like cancer was 50 years ago.
People don't want to talk about it, they don't want to know about it. People are frightened of
it, and they don't understand, when actually these issues are medically treatable.

I was always frightened, I was never a tough guy. Every wild thing that I did was tinged with alcoholic and
drug-addicted self-loathing and a large degree of fear.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves
responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

Could You Change your Life in just 5 days?
By David P Allen
Have you ever woken up hating yourself? Maybe you remembered how you upset or lied to someone you love?
Or maybe you didn't do what you promised to do? Or maybe you just feel that you are just plain useless at everything?
Have
you ever woken up feeling scared! Maybe you're scared of going to the office because you have to confront a person who you
know dislikes you or maybe you have to fire somebody today. Or you have to present the sales figures (poor) to your boss?
Have you ever woken up wishing....? Wishing that you were better looking or slimmer or younger. Or maybe wishing you
could afford to own the kind of home you were in last night or the car you saw in their drive?
Have you ever woken
up feeling hate for everybody? Hating the people who just seem to sail through life getting everything the want: the right
job, the right home and the right kids. The people, who always get the best jobs, always have plenty of money and get on great
in any social situation.
Have you ever woken up feeling frightened? Maybe about getting old or sick or that you are
losing a relationship. Maybe frightened about how you are going to pay the mortgage or your credit card bills. Or maybe about
those sales calls you have to make if you want to keep your job?
Have you ever woken up feeling that the whole world
is against you? No matter how hard you try nobody will help you or allow you to succeed nobody cares about you!
Well
let me tell you something, you are not alone. We all at sometime, or other have those feelings. I personally spent years just
living and wishing and getting nowhere.
Is it possible to change? I beleive it is. With practice you can change if
you want to.
Here are a few of the things I started to practice and which helped me change and which might help you
also.
You could try to stop worrying, about things you can't change and use the time saved to think about things you
can change.
You could try to stop reading newspapers and watching the News on TV for a while. Use the time saved to
think about your immediate world and your place in it. Remember, the News Media are in the entertainment business and their
idea of entertainment is "gloom and doom... Try seeing them as the guy who shuffles along the sidewalk with the billboard
saying, "The end is nigh!"
You could try staying away from "losers" the people whose talk is always negative. Who
always see the bottle as half empty?
You could try to look at the positive side of everything. Because everything has
a positive. It's a hard thing to do but if you try to seriously think about a thing you may find a lot of your "problems"
may actually be opportunities.
Try listening to music that gives you a lift. Watch TV or go to movies that make you
laugh and feel good.
Try complimenting people. If you like what a person is wearing or the car they're driving or the
service they've given you tell them so. I guarantee you'll feel better and they will too.
Look in the mirror and compliment
yourself. Think about it. If you are taking notice of these suggestions it means you seriously want to change.
So
complement yourself for that reason if nothing else!
You could try having patience with people. Remember they may not
be as good or as quick as you at doing things. You could also try having patience with yourself as well.
You could
try and find some project you truly believe in and get really involved in it.
You could try and relax more. You will
find you can actually do things better the more relaxed you are.
Remember YOU are always in control of your own thoughts
and no one, repeat, no one, can do your thinking for you.
These are just a few of the things I have practiced doing
and each day they get easier to do the more I practice. Practicing them have changed my life and given me something I consider
priceless . That is Happiness 99% of the time!
I am still working on the other 1%!
