Is it normal to be scared of rejection?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, being scared of rejection is very normal. Most people feel it sometimes, especially when something matters to them.
Rejection can sting, so your brain naturally tries to protect you from it. That fear might show up when you’re dating, making friends, sharing an idea, or asking for what you want.
People vary in how strongly they feel it. A little fear is common; it only becomes a bigger problem if it regularly stops you from doing things you care about. You don’t have to feel fearless to take a small chance—just nervous enough to overthink it first.
