I'm not sure what you're looking for but if you want motivational sayings ive got a few
you win some you lose some
you can't will them all
you don't score any of the shots you don't take
80% of success is showing up
(so if you don't try, you fail...) xD


um if you didn't want sayings
try and instill confidence in them, make them feel confident
how to do that depends on the person

but yea, everyone will be afraid of rejection, getting over that fear, I don't believe is fully possible, but if you can side track it for something more important, or show them that if you have courage, rejection is less likely or something like that, you can get over that fear...

did that make sense?
good luck!

@Cap'n Aussie
Your motivational sayings to get over the fear of rejection are great, thank you.
Can you give an example or success story of how a person had confidence instilled in them?
Also, what did you mean with "side track it for something more important"?

Your best way to get over your fears are to face them. It's better to be rejected than to wonder what the outcome would be had you taken the path and trust me, fearing the unknown is far worse than getting rejected. Even if you do get rejected, look at it as something to learn from -- why did you get rejected? how? what can i learn from it? The answers to these questions will not only give you new insight as to why it happened but it will also help you prevent it from happening the next time around.

If you want to reach your goals in life, it's important to step out of your comfort zone and face new things head on. It's like walking for the very first time -- as a baby, you probably fell a few times before getting the hang of it but you never gave up so do the same now. Keep going and even if you do fail, get up and try again! You'll do great!!

Good luck!!

To add onto to other member's post replies.

One thing that I've been trying to do is learn to accept me and love me for who I am. That's not an easy task for some people in this world. Even though I feel at times that in order for someone to accept me and love me for the young lady I am, I have to be the one to accomplish this first. But that's not the case all the time. I've come to make friends in person and online that have already accepted me for me. Some will tell you I'm too cruel and hateful to myself when I shouldn't be. In their mind, I should relax and enjoy the moment at hand. After all, Time is Short. I do have many fears of my own and I have overcome half of them. Like Posh said, the only way to overcome those fears is to comfront them head on. Pain and rejection is part of life. We all go through it. Unfortunatly, Some more than others. Remember, you're still alive after the acception and/or rejection.

Well, I'm not good with advice but think of these facts:
-The average person has about 100,000 thoughts per day. About 70 percent of those thoughts are negative. About 95 percent of those negative thoughts are grossly mis-interperations of ourselves. Think of the impact you could make if you caught those thoughts and turned them postive
-Think of the good outcomes rather then the bad.
-Stop being selfish! If it's a goal you want, and you know you have the talent to complete it then do! Don't just keep it to yourself.
-Fear of being rejected is far worse then being rejected. Use the rejections to improve, and to settle the 'what ifs'.
-Act as if it's impossible to fail-anything. Be proud and confident like you should be!
Remember:

Good luck!(: Hope I helped

Theres a pattern of thinking in problems rather than thinking in possibilities, which is quite common. Its often not conscious and if we are not trained at exploring what drives us unconsciously or super-rationalists, almost all people are subject to it at some extent.

I think what helps is experience. Experience to learn how the problems one thinks in are not correctly mapping reality but might transform reality into one with problems. I received some training at the company, it was quite impressive. It can be practiced in controlled training situations and really open your eyes.

Hi P05HH,
Thank you for sharing your input on how to get over the "fear of rejection."
I love the baby analogy. It proves that there's always a learning curve to every new experience.
A person can use that "wonder of the outcome" and "fear of the unknown" to be the "something more important side track" Cap'n Aussie mentioned. One tip, I've read, is to make the importance of it feel so LARGE that it scares you into stepping out of your comfort zone.
