Quote by Albert Ellis
People could rationally decide that prolonged relationships take up too much time and effort and that they'd much rather do other kinds of things. But most people are afraid of rejection.
Summary
This quote suggests that while individuals may logically choose to prioritize their time and energy on other things instead of maintaining long-term relationships, oftentimes fear of rejection prevents them from doing so. The fear of being excluded or turned down by others psychologically inhibits individuals from breaking away, even when they might have rational reasons for doing so. This implies that the fear of rejection can influence people's decisions and tie them to relationships that they might otherwise choose to let go of.
