A "
fear of rejection" can also be one that exists during a normal, healthy

relationship left, that their life would lack

happiness, and in a sense be
empty. The individual may also feel this way during the
relationship when they are all alone, thinking they cannot be
happy without the other(s).
The best way for
beating the fear of rejection in this case would be to remind oneself that if this
relationship ended, that one could easily find another
relationship just as easily (It was already accomplished once, it can be done again). One should also try not to dwell on
