You rock gibsy. I went on a job hunt last year and got knocked back or ignored by every application I sent. It knocked my self esteem and confidence really hard. You went to soooo fucking many interviews, and if your experience is anything like mine, probably sent in 10-20x more applications. I can't imagine going through that and still putting on a brave face and going into interviews with a positive outlook. To be completely honest, I think I would've shrivelled up and died.
You're a hell of a lot stronger than you realise, and if you were that confident with all of those rejections, you must be easily the most confident person on the planet ordinarily
Edit: also, I really really appreciate all of the comments and ideas you've left when I've shared what's been happening here. I hope that my bad days haven't brought your mood down, you deserve to celebrate and enjoy the moment
That's incredibly kind of you Baku โค๏ธ I really appreciate you saying that. It was getting really fucking hard but you can't give up because what's the other option?
And it's all good about replying to what's been happening for you. It doesn't bring my mood down at all. I just wish you didn't have to deal with this bullshit mate.
