Is something wrong with me?

So I have been looking for projects in my company for around 2 months now. I gave 4-5 interviews and got rejected in L1 interviews in all for one or the other reason. Today, after so many days I got a chance to give client interview (happens after L1 interview...in case someone has no idea about it). It lasted 50 mins and I didn't perform well. After feeling down for about an hour, I'm not feeling well. I have observed myself that whenever I'm sad/down...I automatically gets better after few hours. I should be feeling sad for loosing the chance that I got after 2 months but I'm like ....it's alright 🙃

Is this some sort of healing mechanism that my brain has created for me or I'm not sincere or serious about my life??

Well you gotta get a lot of work done. We aren't kids anymore who can give a lot of time grieving on what could've been ours, we are adults with lots of responsibilities.

This is your brain's way of coping with adulting

Ok I just realized I made a typo
I meant that after feeling down for an hour...I'm feeling better...for no reason

It’s more like I m fine with this as this was bound to happen, I would prefer not being Okay for like the whole day crying the heart out writing why the fuck it didn’t happen and slam the wall with a few punches and then wash the face and get back grinding

I guess you're right Maybe I'm not trying hard enough Or maybe I'm not interested anymore 😕

I need to figure out
