Fear of rejection and being vulnerable I think are kind of a natural part of the “relationship experience.” I mean, everyone has the chance to get their heart broken… and, :c revealing your feelings can be frightening. It’s very natural. The way I see it, because those are very valid feelings, they’re not going to go away easily. You have to tough through it, you know? Accept that there’s going to be that possibility, and just hope for the best.
Just, speaking from experience? If you don’t do anything, and allow that fear to rule you… you’re going to regret it. :c I had a crush on this person for three years— my sophomore-senior years of high school. I never said anything, did anything, etc, and I kind of really regret it. :c If you do something, you’ll at least be able to look back and say, “I’m proud of myself for trying. I’m glad I didn’t succumb to my fear.”
