Well I got denied for my dream job at the last hurdle, and it isn't sensible for me to wait a year to try again.
That's a pretty unpleasant feeling.

The worst feeling in the world?

This, and d4s. There's a reason we call those things "caltrops".Funkiest Monkey said:
Personally, it's that sinking feeling in your gut when you spend a lot of time getting to know a girl, chatting her up and after a course of several months, asking her out only to find out she has a boyfriend.
Even when you smile and try to write it off as nothing, you are still broken inside.
That is worse than anything a parent can say to you.theSovietConnection said:
Being broken up with. When your heart hurts, you feel like being sick and nothing seems to actually make sense. Then the subsequent weeks of being numb, being the only person in love. Oh, then when you think you're getting over that person, you find out they've found someone else.
I'm going through that feeling and it sucks.
As far as mental pain comes:
first comes Loneliness... just that can drive anybody absolutely insane in a matter of time.
Then comes Betrayal... I think this one speaks for itself, not including all the trust issues that are to follow.
(I guess heartbreaks would come here as well but I only suffered those by getting indirectly rejected so I can't say for sure.)
as for physical pain...
Don't know about the ladies but for men it's anything related to our precious sacks. Punch, Kick, testicular torsion, bite, crushing... (none from personal experience, mind you)
Yeah I can safely bet that any dude who's read my last line just felt the pain.

I have to say I can't quite visualize your first sentence... if it's not to painful, an example would be helpful.Dango said:

It's even worse when it's one of your parents. Also, for me, stress is one of the worst feelings for me. Add that to the one time I got heartbroken by one of my best friends, and you got a recipe for disaster. Feels bad, man.Irridium said:
Helplessness. And being out of control. And guilt. Guilt is horrible. Eats away at you. And it follows a cycle - somehow my guilt ends up with me being angry at the person who's making me feel guilty. Which makes me feel guilty about being angry at them. Then I feel sad about being guilty. And a lot of other stuff.
I hate the feeling of someone being disappointed in me. That's just awful, it makes my heart sink whenever someone says it. Paranoia is pretty awful too: knowing that something is almost impossible in how unlikely it is, yet being absolutely convinced it will happen anyway.
Apathy.
Not the stereotypical loathing which isn't apathic in the slightest. But a real and profound sense of indifference to life, the universe and everything.
(self-)hate, doubt, regret, fear, those are the result of an inner struggle. They indicate a willingness to act.
Apathy, indifference, is just emptyness. The horrible realisation that you are less than an atom in the vast infinity of space. That you are nothing, that you will amount to nothing, and that you are, in a way, contend with this. That all your relationships, that all you ever done, that every little detail that defines you is absolutely nothing at all.
That's horror for you, if you could care in the slightest.

Rejection (by any source, but mostly from women).
I don't feel pain. Or more specifically, I have an extraordinarily high pain tolerance (basically a ten for most people is a three for me). I have fallen off a garage roof, been hit by a car, landed on my head while caving, did a chinplant trying to jump my bike off a wall (which resulted in a badass scar where the wound was...no stiches) and a crapload of other stuff, and I walked all of them off.
But rejection is literally the only thing that can physically cripple me. The pain that it causes is excruciating.

I can mostly handle negative sentiments very well, so I would propose something physical for my part - migraine attacks, although I haven't had one in quite a while.
Yes, this picture is a very accurate depiction of how it begins; I prefer not to look at it for longer than 10 seconds for it makes me anticipate another attack. They're completely hellish.

You wanna know the absolute worst feeling in the world? Ok.
Imagine finding your best friend screwing your girlfriend over the corpse of your dead dog while they read out your parent's divorce papers on the day that no one remembered your birthday.
Every feeling associated with that is leg breakingly painful, and very unpleasent. But, you know what they say. I could of had it worse!

For me, it's being guilty with no way to fix the things you've done, or anxiety. Being anxious or excited is also a bad feeling for me. It makes my stomach feel really sick.
And that horrible emptiness you feel when you've either lost someone you love or don't feel like you can talk to anyone about that emptiness, because you're the only one you who's experiencing it.

Loneliness. Also, asking yourself over and over again why people don't like you and not finding an answer.
Guilt is pretty bad as well.

Any of you old enough to have your own checking account? Alright, any of you stupid enough to overdraft the shit out of it?
When I was 21 I did this to myself, find out somehow I put myself five hundred in the hole, and it charged me thirty bucks every four business days till I payed it off. I think I threw up a little bit.
