One type of rejection people face is in the employment game. I know a woman who is trying get back into the workforce after a hiatus. She used to be a substitute teacher, but she gave that up when her husband was diagnosed with a very severe case of brain cancer. He passed away, leaving her with enough money to support herself and her college-age daughter for a few years. She has come to the point where she needs to start providing for herself again and is looking for work.
She has applied at many different places. She is willing to take anything but with the economy being what it is everyone is pressed to find work. She also has factors working against her. That period of time where she did not work is not looked to highly upon by potential employers. She is also of an age that people are not looking to hire.
After being rejected numerous times I'm sure she feels very low about herself. She believes that she is unwanted and not useful. In her situation she must also feel fear the she will be heading down a dangerous path soon. She most likely feels vulnerable and scared.
