It can be extremely uncomfortable and hard to get over but it’s nothing you can’t deal with. Understand that shame is a human emotion and we experience it from time to time. See it for what it is, acknowledge it, and let it in. The more you handle shame in this manner, the less it will have control over your life.

There is always something to learn and you can always apply what you’ve learnt into achieving your goals. But the worst thing to do is to take no action at all.

Summary:

You can overcome the fear of rejection by seeing life from different perspectives, understanding that rejection will not kill you, and knowing that you are more capable than you think you are.
