When someone rejects me why do I feel so much anxiety?

I feel sometimes like they're saying no to who I am as a person, as opposed to it just being that not everyone is going to take a liking to me.

I think that is normal. I mean, it stings if someone doesn't want to reproduce with you.

But like you say, it's just preference. It wouldn't make sense for a director of romantic movies to get mad that someone who loves action movies doesn't want to see their movie.

on this level they say no to their imagined picture of you... time is needed to get to know another person well enough to be sure

so it has nothing to do with the real you

You care too much about what other people think, as though thier opinion really matters.
