Fear of rejection amongst South Asians Fear of rejection amongst South Asians, South Asian people tends to be very emotional and are very fearful of rejection. They tend to seek more approval from others compared to other cultures. Fear of rejection amongst South Asians: Living the puppet life Instead of being true to themselves, they tend to go out of their way to accommodate other people may it be friends, family, or strangers. They just become the puppets who have no life of themselves and dance on the fingers of their master, empty of any feeling of suppression and regression. But the problem is that they have all those humane feelings. They have their priorities, they know what makes really happy and extremely sad but they keep on living their miserable lives, being unhappy and mentally distressed all the time, by just simply not being themselves which is very thought-provoking and pitiful. All they need is being themselves. Fear of rejection amongst South Asians: The reality behind the curtains There is a positive side to this that this characteristic makes them likable and builds relationships. However, this characteristic does not allow them to be assertive and true to themselves. The amazing thing is that even you bend yourself out of shape for other people, you are less likely to please everyone. By putting your own happiness in other people's hands, you are at the mercy of other people's approval, whims and mood swings. Most people think more about what they are going to have for lunch than your well being. "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live just like it's heaven on earth.” ― William W. Purkey As per Christine Comaford-Lynch, hold a rejection party and her mantra is some will, some won’t, so what someone is waiting. She also suggests that you throw a rejection party to overcome your fear of rejection. You can also make a list of your fears and tackle one every day. Fear of rejection is natural, don't take it personally and say "next." Go take a cold calling job, telemarketing job, or paddle a product from door to door, you will overcome your fear very quickly. At the end of the day, rejection is not personal. It is part of life. Fear of rejection amongst South Asians: You are golden As said by one of the brightest, Herbert in his extravagant book Dune: “I shouldn't be afraid. Being afraid kills the mind. Fear is a slow killer that does the biggest damage and brings total eradication. I will face my fear. My fear will be totally allowed to cover me, try to sponge its claws over me, and then pass over me. And when all the mighty pain and fear has faded away, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. And all the suffering has gone nothing will make noise and there will be simply nothing. Only I will remain.” Fear relating to all kinds and dimensions is not less than a psychological infection. We can cure a mental infection the same way we cure a body infection—with specific, proven treatments… condition yourself with this fact: all confidence is acquired, developed. No one is born with confidence. Those people around you who radiate confidence, who have conquered worry, who are at ease everywhere and all the time, acquired their confidence, every bit of it...action cures fear. Hesitation, postponement, on the alternative hand, fertilize fear… Jot that down on your achievement rule book right now. Action remedies fear...Hesitation just enlarges, magnifies the fear. Take the motion swiftly. Become conclusive.” - David J. Schwartz The fastest way to stay connected with sawntv, Follow us On; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, Vimeo, Youtube.
