i call this the Social Anxiety Objection. Imagine a child who fears going to a new school: "What if the kids at the new school don't like me? What if they won't let me play with them? What if they make fun of me?"

Now, from a child's perspective, these don't sound like irrational objections. Some children do experience bullying, humiliation and rejection in school.

But then most children survive this period of their lives and manage to grow up as functional adults.
