I thought rejection was the lowest you could go.
Turns out there's lower, being so shit that you don't even warrant a rejection.

Post your short story
That's literally the only way to help you
The reason you're getting rejected if becauseyour writing is not good
The same thing happened to me several years ago. Normally if a journal doesn't want to publish a story, the journal will send a rejection letter. However, the journal did not send one because your story was never received. Have you felt, as of late, that someone or something-- not owing to a higher power-- was watching you? Have you noticed that your possessions have been moved ever so slightly, so as to be hardly noticeable, and yet you still notice the changing positions? It's thre work of the literary pixies. These pompous fiends have been treasurers of literature, and they've done good work for the most part, but recently they've gone mad trying to preserve old literary eras by shutting down anything they deem unworthy of publication. I haven't had the opportunity to have more than a brief conversation with one of them, during which the little man informed me that my writing was crude and improper, and did not deserve to become widespread and mistaken for art.
Don't mind them. There's a simple solution: pixies abhor bug collectors, especially of the beetle variety. Keep a few preserved beetles on your writing desk, and they won't try to read what it is you've written.

I'd actually walk out and jerk myself off in front of Foxnews, CNN, BBC, and Al-Jezera

I can vouch for this, but would also recommend keeping a number of iron objects around your domicile, preferably something weighty like a poker or horse shoes.
