I shouldn't complain about job hunting for the last five months but here I am

People tell me I will get a job but here I am browsing through job listings hoping one would call me. I've already had 12 interviews so far.
My friends and family say the job hunt is truly like this but it doesn't help as much. My social media habits don't make it any less hard. Seeing people who only had to go through one job interview after college and get a job made me feel jealous. My jealousy blamed their privilege and how their money got them where they had to be. I was bitter at first then it slowly turned to depression and severe comparison anxiety.
I got my first job interview earlier this year, I was hopeful but going through interview after interview is making me feel hopeless. The no-calls and rejections make me feel like I am nothing. In college, I did great I was able to balance studies, extracurricular activities, a part-time job, and freelancing. It makes me feel like I shouldn't have worked so hard during college when there's no fruit to my labor.
I know it's only been five months and I shouldn't even complain other have been through the job hunt longer than I have and have been through more interviews and more applications than I have. Why do I feel like a worthless piece of shit because it's taking too long for me to get a job?

Keep going. Don't let this one thing keep you down after everything you've been through. Just because these people have standard too high or low doesn't mean it should discourage you in any way. <3
