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.
I'm in a similar boat with the job rejections, it's tough keeping motivation going when you don't get the result you want. I also suffer with nerves in the interview situation, in fact I've had it fed back to me by interviewers. Do you ask for feedback from your interviews? That might give you some pointers to work on.

As for the more personal rejections, maybe that's hitting you harder because of your job situation? I doubt there's anything wrong with you - as you say yourself you're just not used to it, lol some of us have more experience of that.

Chin up, better times around the corner - and as someone very wise on here once said to me "Every no is a step closer to a yes".

Good luck!
Thanks for this!
