Note
Only the countable side of rejection takes this plural. Used as a mass noun, rejection names the act or the experience in general (a fear of rejection). The plural instead counts separate occurrences: turned-down proposals, blocked shots in a game, or episodes in which a host's immune system attacks transplanted tissue. When you mean the feeling itself rather than individual events, keep the singular.
