It's not really the fear of rejection with me. I just simply go blank as to what to actually talk about with a stranger. It's finding that common ground to start up the conversation that I have difficulty with. When I'm at work, I have absolutely no problems interacting with patients because there is that common area where they need help so I ask certain questions which eventually turns into a personal conversation about their lives or how to help with the pain. Many at work are completely surprised to hear how antisocial I am outside of work.
But just to simply walk up to a person or a woman more specifically and just strike up a conversation, is a complete mystery to me. Especially when it comes to the bar atmosphere where, to be honest, one of the only reasons to be at a bar at 1am is to hook up with someone, I find the game to be pointless and just have this overwhelming urge to just be honest with a chick. By honest I mean waking up to her, saying something as ridiculous as hey you look good, do I look good, ok then lets go LOL. Of course that would probably result in a slap in the face but as I'm typing this, it just came back full circle as it really is about fear of rejection lol. Funny how that works.
