Not well. I still struggle with this when it's 100% on me. If the interviewer was asking tricky questions or trying to get me to slip up, then that's a different story, but when I'm to blame, I beat myself up way longer than one should. I just care. A lot.
I used to do this too, and this is what helped me: I do a brain dump of all of my thoughts about how the interview went. Write down everything and let myself feel all the feelings. I also write out a few lessons I learned, such as things I could do better next time. And then I refuse to let myself keep thinking about it. No more thinking, no more dwelling, no more ruminating. I learned what I learned and all I can do is move on.
Just do the best I can during that interview. Learn from those details I missed or didn’t explain well, and do better for the next one. Everybody has had a flub during an interview, just part of the process.
I do the same. I replay every word like a bad movie. What helps me now is writing down what went wrong, then what went right. I remind myself one imperfect moment does not cancel everything else i bring to the table.
I replay interviews like a bad song on loop. What helps me is writing down what I did well too. can't change what's done already
Hindsight is the worst, but instead of beating yourself up about something you did wrong, use it as a learning curve of what you could improve on. Most likely nobody else even realised you made a mistake anyway!
