I've been feeling a bit rejected this year. I've been looking for a job for about 3-4 months now and I keep not getting hired. For someone with anxiety, even going to an interview is a huge ordeal, but I do it, and still manage to not get the job. I also have been rejected romantically from I think at least two men that I was interested in, and although this may sound egotistical, I'm not used to being rejected romantically at all. I'm usually the one getting hit on randomly in the mall, in the grocery store, minding my own business, I purposely wear sunglasses just so people wont assume I'm hitting on them if I lock eyes with someone because that's how often I get approached. So being rejected by two people recently really stunned my self confidence and made me do some inner digging as to why that might have occurred.
Professionally, I've always felt intelligent and capable, but being rejected from jobs every week is making me question my aptitude - perhaps they're seeing something in me that I'm not, something I'm lacking? Something wrong with my personality?
I hate to just assume something is wrong with me because of a few rejections, but its difficult not to come to that conclusion.
