The fear of rejection is, for many people, a deep seated fear. It is so deep seated and primitive a fear, that many are not consciously aware of its existence, though we are painfully aware of its effects.

I think small business owners especially sometimes suffer from the fear that everyone's approval is necessary for success. (As in, the customer is always right?) While it's certainly important to have feedback, becoming obsessed with the negative can paralyze a business. Not everyone will love your product or service. Worry about your target customer -- your obsessed fan who will tell others about you. (Remember, Apple has PLENTY of critics!)
