You acknowledge these feelings and you allow yourself to feel them. It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to feel disillusioned with everything. People aren’t perfect. These negative feelings will pass in their own time.

Rejection is a known fact for everybody – we’ve all been rejected at some point in our lives. I guess like most other things, the more it happens, the easier it becomes to deal with. After being rejected a few times, it doesn’t seem so bad. That’s not to say being rejected doesn’t still come with feelings of disappointment after being rejected many times, but after a while you just learn to get up and move on.

I talk from personal experience – being rejected from many job interviews was disheartening for me and applying for more seemed like an exercise in futility for me. Everybody else seemed to be more successful than I was and I soon began to resent people. I decided I needed to take action because how are any of us going to succeed at anything if we don’t try? I had to remind myself that despite the countless rejections, I have had successful interviews before. I’m not saying I have attained any kind of success yet because I haven’t, I’m searching for jobs because I wasn’t earning much from working freelance but I’m not going to get anywhere if I don’t try. I also learned that it’s best not to focus on what other people have in their lives or where they are at the moment – you focus on you.

In your own time, you will be inspired to take some kind of action with your life. Take action. If something doesn’t work, change it. We have to do it ourselves and we have to be the engineer of our own happiness. Nobody is going to hand it to us on a plate.

Could you try perhaps volunteering for a charity? I’ve found that volunteering puts things into perspective and gives a sense of purpose.

I hope things will look up for you soon. Please do post more.
