Interviews

I keep going to interviews, spending considerable time studying and preparing, and during the interviews I can actually feel the momentum building. The conversations flow well, they seem engaged, and it gives me hope that maybe this one will finally work out.
Then a few weeks later it’s either a rejection email or complete silence. Sometimes they just ghost me entirely.
I’m not delusional enough to think I’m the perfect candidate or that I absolutely nailed every interview. I know every interview is a learning experience and I always reflect on what I could improve. But I also genuinely have hands-on experience in the exact field I’m applying for, which is why this whole process confuses me so much.
At this point I honestly don’t understand what I’m missing.
Has anyone else gone through this where interviews seem to go well but nothing ever materializes? I’d really appreciate a third-party perspective from people who’ve experienced hiring from either side.

Life with friends

Does anyone else struggle to make close friends because most people feel fake? I feel like a lot of people pretend to be something they’re not, fake connections, fake personalities, fake kindness, and seeing that makes me want to keep my distance from people. How do you build genuine friendships when you feel this way?”
