I'm Worried About My Future

I joined this premium job search website that is said to work. I applied for ten positions yesterday and only heard back from one telling me I didn't get it. I used to think if there were a lot of opportunities, that would increase my chances of getting a job. But now I'm only thinking it will increase my chances of getting rejected. Rejection comes so naturally than something working out for me. Happiness comes in short supply for me. I was happy when I found this website because I thought maybe it was a sign of things to come but now I'm starting to think this could just be another opportunity for me to get hurt again.

@JewStar4Life: Just hang in there, it will come. Be bold and be brave. Do ten applications again today. Every rejection brings you closer to an acceptance. I don't know what your field is, but also look at associated fields too. Try to think of the whole thing as the law of averages and the more applications you have out there the closer you are to success. I know just how hard it can be, but you this is a chance for you to break a cycle for yourself and get past what's gone before.
Get out there and be fierce!
Good luck! :)
