Rejection is rejection-wherever it is found. So you begin to protect yourself, and, as a result, greatly limit yourself. You begin to shut down and close out the world around you.

In Susan Jeffers' book "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," she discusses how experiences of rejection can impact individuals profoundly. When faced with rejection, people often create emotional barriers to shield themselves, which may lead to a diminished engagement with the world. This self-protection mechanism, while intended to reduce vulnerability, ultimately restricts personal growth and opportunities.

Jeffers emphasizes that this decision to limit oneself results in a cycle where fear constricts possibilities, hindering one’s ability to connect with others and embrace life fully. By confronting and overcoming the underlying fears associated with rejection, individuals can reclaim their power, take actionable steps, and foster healthier connections with those around them.
