Facing job rejections: A tough day in my job search journey

Today, I faced a tough reality check as I dealt with multiple job rejections. It's my first time going through this, and I had really put myself out there. I dressed up nicely, wore my favorite perfume, and made sure my resume was polished for every application. I even had interviews where I felt like I connected well with the interviewers. I was proud of my efforts and thought I was making a good impression. However, the rejections hit hard. Each email felt like a personal blow, making me question my worth. I started to spiral, thinking maybe I’m not good enough or that my appearance is holding me back. It's been tough, especially since I've been feeling isolated from family and friends lately. I really believed getting a job would open doors for me and give me a sense of purpose, but now it feels like that chance is slipping away. I’ve seen friends getting hired, even those who have had a rocky work history, which adds to my frustration. I keep reminding myself that the interviewers seemed to like me, but the outcomes are making it hard to stay positive. I know I need to keep applying and not let the rejections define me, but it’s a struggle.
