I hate putting myself out there. I hate being in a vulnerable position.
Too late now. I can only wait and see what happens.
It is something that frustrates me about myself. I never put myself out there. I do not want to go through the emotions of rejection, of being looked at negatively, etc. I'd rather play it safe.
But I know if I am always true to myself, I could never be wrong. It doesn't matter if I am rejected, or disliked, and so on.
Had dinner with a good friend tonight and he mentioned a quote he heard the other day: Rejection is God's way of giving advice.
If I could only get rid of myself of my insecurities, if only a little. How much more productive, lucid, content would I be?

You are right in the fact that rejection is a part of life. Some would say it is the worst part (if so they led a pretty blessed life), others would say it is a good thing. To me, accepting rejection is like riding a roller coaster. The moment before it happens you are on an emotional high, excited, wondering what will happen next, maybe things will go my way, the adrenaline is flowing, your heart races and stomach flutters, it is amazing. If rejection does come your way, just tell yourself it is part of life and it is not a problem with you, it just happens that way. I think that is where most people go wrong. They take a simple rejection as "There must be something wrong with me for them to think that way." It is not always, not even usually true. Enjoy your moment of vulnerability, it is what it is like to feel alive again.
