It seems so many have fear or rejection. Maybe we should call this the Fear of Rejection forum instead of the Psychotherapy forum.

Here's a question: do men have this fear of rejection as much as women? Is it mostly just a female thing? My husband, who is by no means that well-adjusted, lol, is very much sure that everyone simply loves him and thinks he is great. He thinks he can do no wrong and is hot stuff! I don't see a lot of insecurity about abandonment or rejection in him. I don't think he would care. He would think it was the other person's loss if they rejected him. My therapist, who has worked with him, says he is narcissistic. So is narcissism the flip side of fear of rejection? Is there a middle ground? Should I strive to be more like my husband? (gag)

(footnote: for those who don't know, my husband and I are getting divorced)
