I used to think exactly like this when I got rejected.
An important thing to remember is that people can reject you for plenty of reasons, and it's usually not because of "something you've done" (unless you were already in a relationship with them and you ****ed up). I can't remember where I heard it, but, people are very self-centered beings. Majority of the time, anything that someone does generally stems from something inside themselves that causes them to do it. I went through a lot of self-reflection after I thought I got "rejected" by a guy that I REALLY liked. I had a bit of a breakdown and swore to myself that there was something wrong with me, that I was ugly, that it was because I'm black, that I'm not good enough, that I don't deserve him he's too good for me, that he's out of my league, etc. None of that mess that goes through your head after rejection is true and it's toxic. Turns out about 3 weeks down the road, the guy contacts me asking if I wanted to go out with him again now that he was on break from school.

His rejection wasn't really even a rejection from his point of view. So it could even be that you're just reading too much into things.
The best thing to do is to just breathe, and do something that you enjoy to take your mind off of it. Then realize that he's not the only guy in the world. When you take a step back and look at things with a clear head, you'll realize that most people are no where near as amazing and perfect as you may have thought they were. A lot of times we find someone who we really like, and our brain fills in missing pieces about them and their persona. We create an ideal person that doesn't exist and project that onto them in our minds. So when we get rejected, it feels that much worse.
But realize that if he doesn't want to be with you (for whatever reason), then he doesn't deserve you and you two have no business being together in the first place. Also, it helps to think of all the people in your life who DO like and enjoy being around you. Trust me, there are plenty.
