I guess it’s built into us to protect our feelings and our own idea of how we are perceived. If we put ourselves out there we’re exposed and susceptible to negativity. I’m always surprised and never know how to act when I receive a compliment but then again I’m too routine with things and something remotely small that changes that does shock me!
Exactly. Fear and rejection just hold us back though!

I agree. But why are we all so afraid? There are many things worse than failure and rejection, yet these seem to be what people fear the most.
