Therapist time?

I have a fear of rejection and a fear of failure.  Failure and rejection from the past have scarred me emotionally.  I feel like I am a failure.  So failure is okay, because that is what I expect from myself.  I don't put myself out there socially because I don't want to be rejected.  Trying to would just lead to more rejection and failure to succeed at whatever I was putting myself out there for.  I can pinpoint past events that have made me feel this way.  I know what is going on in my head.  No need for a therapist on that account.  But maybe I need someone to tell me how to overcome my issues.
