I used to feel really good about my skills and what I bring to the table. After months of rejections (and a lot of silence), I just can't tell anymore if I was ever as capable as I thought I was. Every application that goes nowhere makes me feel worse. How do you stop a long job search from making you feel worthless?

I went to therapy. still on the jobhunt but boy do I have value in this world, and so do you! It’s there!

At the risk of repeating cliches here but upskill. Take courses, try new things in your own industry that you haven’t done before, experiment with new tools, listen to possible, read books, reports, analysis.
This isn’t me lecturing from the outside: I’m currently dealing with my applications going nowhere too. That feeling of worthlessness is almost inevitable after failures but the only way to fight it is reclaiming worth. I may not have gotten that offer yet but damn it if I am not more qualified than ever in my life!

Both good suggestions. I am also feeling this way
