What is considered a "harsh" rejection?

This may be a bit of a stupid question, but I want to see what everyone's rejection thresholds are, so to speak.

So, in your mind, what is the difference between a 'harsh' rejection and a 'soft' rejection?

Aren't all rejections inherently harsh, given that being rejected is hard on the person being rejected?
