You know how when you were a little kid, or when you see other little kids scared shitless of trying something that all the rational adults around them are promising will be just fine if they go and just get it over with?
You know how afterwards the world doesn't end?
That's how fear of rejection (what I'd term approach anxiety) is. It's not rational, it's you letting your mind race and your emotions jump all over and not DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I've been rejected pretty hard sometimes. The worst thing that ever happened is that I felt shitty for a moment or two and then I moved on and then soon after laughed about it (at the absurdity of the rejection). In most cases, it ends up WAY better than you would've expected or imagined.
Rip the bandaid off.
Also helps me to consider that if a girl wanted to approach me, should she ever really be nervous or be worried about how I'm going to react? No. It'd be stupid, I'm not an exceptionally mean or fucked up person, I just might not be interested and let her know.
The WORST rejection is your own. When you don't approach, you are REJECTING yourself FOR HER. Why would you do that?
