why he fears rejection? and why do i?
I read this blog on Murlov's site WHY I FEAR REJECTION
An amazing thing to read, though I must confess Murlov, I am not convinced with the answer. I have two reasons why I fear rejection
1) Internal belief in my own abilities: each success serves to boost my confidence in my abilities and I use success to feed my aspirations/desires. Hence I am fearful of failure. I know that the reason is not good enough, but thats how it stands.
2) External perception: perhaps this is where my shallowness surfaces. I am scared of how my failure with impact people's perception of me. "Inspite of all what he did, he never got into HBS". "Not Stanford material". This part worries me the most that I am concerned about external perception. Must work on this weakness of mine
Perhaps over the coming months, I will get to develop more ideas and views on this topic, but I will keep this thread alive. Post your feelings here?
