Many people feel this way when one feels like the world is going against them, in my personal experience I take a step back and evaluate the situation and come to terms with the reality in front of me. When I'm feeling rejected or neglected by people I strive to figure out why and I've come to the realization that is typically why I push people away, because I want to find the reason as to why I feel this way. The reason I take the step back is to realize that my overwhelming fear of being rejected causes people to reject me because I feel like I need to thrive on their acceptance.

often we feel rejected or neglected because people do not react in the way we expect it from them. low self-esteems makes us needy for higher acknowledgement by others without considering enough that others simply have their own challenges and that's why we do not get the attention we want.

Life comes with rejection and neglect, and people don't always treat others like they should. This is a reflection of them not you.
When a puppy is abandoned in the streets, or a child left dismissed in a home, or a person sat alone on the weekend, none of this affects the innate value of that puppy, child, or person. When someone rejects or neglects you this is a reflection of their character, not yours.
We can only be the best of who we are, and if we are rejected even when expressing our true selves then it is life, not us, that is the cause.

According to NVC, a non violent communication process introduced by Marshall B. Rosenberg, a feeling is produced by a need. For example, when needs for connection and companionship are not met, we might feel lonely, anxious and worried. So why do I think that I am rejected or neglected? Probably because some of my needs are not being met. Also, it might be that I was expecting people to behave differently than they actually did. I might also feel frustrated and annoyed. The more you can describe what is actually happening with you and others, the better you can understand what is going on in your mind.

the feeling of rejection and acceptance are illusions. you are feeling this way because you have done something wrong in the past, or morrally wrong. and maybe because your communication skill is not so good. how to solve this? simple: smile, forgive yourself, help people, live a good life.

The way you are feeling, that is probably you are thinking or behaving that youre rejected. It is better to look events from that perspective. We interpet the events not as they are unfolding, but through our perspectives. That is one unique kind of explanation for our emotional distress. It is called cognitive behavioural model. By that way we could introspect ourselves and the life events we are experiencing. As in this instance, a person really may get rejected sometimes, but what is the meaning of getting rejected or neglected, and where and how it happened in which context? How many times?

People have issues of their own, sometimes it is not purposely because they maybe unaware of it themselves.
