Now, let me ask you something slightly uncomfortable.

When was the last time you made a brand new friend?

Not a coworker, not an acquaintance, but a new friend.

Tonight, we're talking about loneliness and friendship here with Gary Dierenfeld.

It's Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday.

Gary, you really look like you want to say something.

Let's use this example to continue our conversation about rejection, because for some people, I feel like you put yourself out there a lot.

You're like, hey, do you want to hang out?

You take the risk.

Maybe it doesn't work out and you move on.

For some people, that risk of an acquaintance turning into a friend, of a coworker asking them for a drink, whatever it is, that rejection fear is just a lot more.

That's the fear.
