Responding to a rejection email is one way to show you are still interested. If you don't respond, the employer will never know how you feel about their company or may not think to consider you for future opportunities. Or they may think you have moved on to another company and are no longer interested.

There's no rush, so take your time. In the meantime, hang out with your friends, who can remind you of how awesome you are. It's okay to talk to your crush right away if that feels right to you. There are no rules when it comes to chatting with your crush.
You can always offer a hug, or a gentle supportive touch. Talking about something other than the rejection, or doing an activity together are other ways you can offer support for a friend who's not ready to talk about her feelings yet. For example, try going on a hike, or playing video games together.

Be honest with her about the reasons that you turned her down and let her know that you are serious this time around. If you were rude, you may say, “I'm sorry for how I handled things the first time. I thought things over and realized I made a mistake. I would love to take you out.”
Why Rejections Hurt So Much. Researcher Naomi Eisenberg at UCLA discovered that social pain (such as being rejected and let down by others) and physical pain are felt in the same parts of the brain. In other words, the brain can't tell the difference between the pain of a breakup and the pain of a broken arm.

Should I tell him how I feel after rejection?
Be honest and sincere.
It's okay to tell him that you're disappointed, that it may take some time before you can see him again, and whatever else you're feeling. This isn't the same thing as asking him to support you emotionally.
- Don't respond at all. When you don't know what to say when a girl rejects you over text, don't respond at all. ...
- Ask them why they rejected you. ...
- Show your good manners. ...
- Be cool. ...
- Tell them you can be just friends. ...
- Just thank them for their time.
Be polite as she rejects you.
Even if she isn't as polite as she could be, be the bigger person and accept the rejection. Just end the conversation with a simple, "Okay, I'll talk to you later," or something like that. When you see her afterwards, just smile and say hi.
- Make it short and sweet but never too short. Say something that interests her. Then leave it at that. ...
- Don't “act” busy. If she responds, don't ever say you've got to go, bye, or try to hook her like that; don't pretend anything, ever. ...
- Be patient. If she has mentioned she'll be away, she means it.
