One of the greatest dangers facing those who experience rejection often is acceptance.  After being rejected  so often for so long  -  when they finally find acceptance,  perhaps with each other, they can end up rejecting others God sends to them! They're finally the "In crowd",  and what makes the "In crowd" cool is that there's an "Out crowd". Everyone can't be a part of the "In crowd", can they? Well, in Christ, of course, they are. Everyone in Christ is in the "In crowd", Amen! There are no rejects or outcasts, no cliques,  no fleshly divisions or boundaries.  ALL ARE ONE IN CHRIST  - no exceptions  - no Jew or Greek, no male or female, no leader and follower, we are all following Christ together, though the lead climber has the most experience and wisdom.
