How do you confess to your crush amid fear of rejection?

Are you unable to confess to your crush and score a date this Valentine's Day? Perhaps you're among those who are silenced by their fear of rejection.

According to Dano Tingcungco's report on "24 Oras Weekend," Sunday, this fear is the reason some people could not express their feelings to their special someone.

For life coach Nathaniel Chua, this fear comes from many factors. Some are afraid of getting friend-zoned, some are afraid of getting hurt after experiencing heartbreak many times.

"If you didn't do this behavior, 'yung behavior na avoiding this person that you like or not saying what you want to say, ano 'yung kailangan mong tanggapin? Ano 'yung kailangan mong harapin? Ano 'yung kailangan mong maramdaman?" he said.

Chua said people should not allow themselves to keep quiet their whole life and face their feelings head on.

To muster the courage to confess, Chua advised to identify the source of one's fear and then let it go.

"Behind that fear is the gift that you care about success and love," he said.
