this kind of fear almost made my heart break. id rather be invisible and unnoticed than be known for someone which i am not. this traumatic experience lead me to no confidence. but then, what strengthens me is my family and through prayers im glad it makes me feel better. but then, i still have to take actions of my own to overcome this fear. hope you’d help me get through this.

Learn how to earn good-will and invest them. It will pay lot of dividends soon.
girl im the same way i fear rejections but most of the time i just think to myself and say hey im probably neva going to see him after this so whats the worst that could happen and i just tell myself go for it !!!!
You have the support of your family, that is more than most.
You are just confused. One one hand, you would rather be invisible and not be phoney. On the other hand, you describe your fear as “traumatic” and “heart break.” You need to be comfortable being you in public. I am still battling this one myself. We must accept that there will always be rejection. You can be the nicest and most generous on the earth, and someone will come along and try to make your life as miserable as theirs.
In other words, you cannot please everyone. There will be misunderstandings. You will be even more worn out trying to figure out every cross word or pout. The more you stand up for yourself, the more rejection you may face. This is life. It is easy to isolate and recharge from the stress of others. But, I have just told myself that I cannot be so sensitive. Once out on your own, you will find many injustices.
Keep being who you are, but many times ignoring the ignorance is a better way to get through the day, than being anxious over all the nonsense others worry about; including their judgement of me.
