I can't understand how people actually act this way. If you like someone, let them know. Maybe they feel the same way. If they don't, there's like 5 seconds of awkwardness before someone changes the topic and things go back to normal.
Why would someone put their self through misery of not knowing whether someone likes them back rather than just [I]ask[/I] and find out, and only [I]risk[/I] those small 5 seconds of awkwardness if they don't?
maybe if u didnt play ur anime games at school she wouldn't lol at ur love kiddo

People are afraid of rejection, it's just how the world works. But it's that same fear that prevents them from becoming desensitized to it.
What I don't understand is backpedaling once they've said it.

I don't understand the fear of rejection, personally. If you like someone, but they don't like you back, then you either move on or you try harder. You don't act offended and think, [I]"How could he or she not like [B]me?[/B]"[/I] because that's narcissistic and arrogant.
Pretending that being in "limbo" ("friendzone") is any better than rejection is even stupider. I'd rather deal with 5 seconds of rejection than months of pining over some girl that doesn't even like me as more than a friend.

Fear of rejection is like a fear of spiders. You don't choose it, it's not really all that rational, and for many people it's hard to get over.

If you have a fear of girls rejecting you after you ask them out, then ask a girl out. If it goes well, your fear will practically disappear. It she says "no" then you just experienced your fear, and realized it's harmless.

As much as I would like to agree with that, it's not how it works. The video is supposed to be satire, not all people are like the guy shown in the video.

I don't know what to tell you. I personally don't have this fear but I know for a fact that it's not that easy to get over fears and phobias. That is generally [b]how[/b] people get over them but usually not after a long period of being affected by them.
You really need to think about things in the perspective of someone else.
I'm not going to lie, this video has given me a lot more confidence than any person on Blahtherapy, or my friends have been able to.
Good job random YouTube guy, Good job.

As someone who previously had a fear of rejection, and others, but doesn't anymore, I assure you that it worked just fine for me. I faced my fear of rejection, spiders, heights, and swimming by facing all three and now none of them affect me. I know the video is satire, but there's a point to it saturated in humor.

You are everybody

How long were you affected by this fear? Because that is exactly what I stated in my post. Most people with a phobia that get over it are afflicted by it for a long period of time but eventually get over it.
Why didn't you just instantly get over it?
Ha ha that was awesome!! One secret I learned is phones are meant only for fixing dates with girls not to convey your love. You usually have to meet them in person to get a successful response to your proposal :)
I didn't notice this before but at the computer desk, there is toilet paper when he's looking up "Top 10 Dating Sims" heuh.
Who tells a girl they like them over text

Apparently not him.

A lot of young girls only communicate through text nowadays. It's pretty sad.

Wait what? What does this have anything to do with that? Nothing in the video suggested the crush was such a girl :v:
It's just how a lot a people communicate now.
He said why would he say he likes her over a text, that's just my reasoning.
I personally hate texting, but that's the only way some people talk.
How do you know? Have they all sent you texts saying so?
Dude, this isn't an argument, that's just what I learned from all the girls I know.
I'm 21, all the 17 year olds are glued to their phones. Much more than when I was in high school.
If you're asking a legitimate question, I apologize.
I work around a lot of younger girls, they are constantly using their phones, I rarely see phone calls anymore.
One of them told me she only texts, because it's easier.
I was going to meet one girl face to face, to tell her how I feel about her, instead I got a text later that night telling me she likes me.
For the duration of the relationship she only texted, she wouldn't talk on the phone at the least, it was really annoying.
