I never realized how much rejection sensitivity I had. Lately I've been talking to more people and scoping out friends and romantic relationships. It's been a long time since I've done this. Years.

And I've noticed that as soon as j like a person, or even before, I get scared so often. Like, every question I'm asked I feel like I'm going to give the wrong answer, or say things wrong, or be too excited about something, or send too many messages. I'm guessing this is rejection sensitivity making me so scared that people are going to cut me off or ghost me at the drop of the hat over these things?

I've been trying hard not to censor myself because of it and just do what I naturally am inclined to, because I want to like be how I really am right, but it's kind of terrifying. It gets netter once I'm more comfortable with people but like the initial periods of getting to know someone, those weeks, it's rough =/

Is this yalls experience to? Is it easier? Is it harder? Any advice?
