Rejection

I can't; I just couldn't I won't; I really shouldn't Too risky; I'd better not Why chance it? For what? What if?... Things could... No way!... Who would?... Deathly afraid of rejection He'd ignored her hints of affection ********** "I was waiting for you to call," she'd said ~ On the note next to the bullet in her head

Hello Gershon Wolf, yes he was afraid of rejection. Because rejection hurts. Have a nice evening my friend.

It hurts the one that is rejected. Would be my guess.

It sure does, Darlene. The question is always: Whom does it hurt the most, the one rejected or the rejector himself?! Thank you for weighing in on this one. Best wishes, Gershon
