" that particular fear controls one's entire social and professional life"

Yes it does. I'm going to use the " I " here. I have a terrible fear of rejection because it hurts me so much. But when it comes to work or facing up authority I have a very good control on it and I will, without hesitation, make my way. This is because, even if I respect everyone, these people do not touch my heart. It's when that I have let people touched my heart that I will fear rejection because it was the people that I love that have rejected me in the first place. They have, in a way, teach me that people cannot love me and that people would rather reject me then love me. Rejection and love can go hand in hand together and build what I call my avoidancy. But this is only me.

Thank you so much for talking about yourself on this subjet. I really have appreciated.
