If you've been to 8 interviews and been turned down at every one then I don't think the problem is that you are 'unlucky' as you put it, more likely you're doing something wrong. I've been to around the same amount of interviews in my life and I've been offered the job at all but one of those interviews. This is before any degree or anything.
I think you should look at how you present yourself, how you carry yourself in person, your posture, your communication skills etc. If not that then think about what you say during your interviews. You might be messing them up somehow.

Without the internet i feel like a small rock on the mountain.
I don't really want my posts on the internet tbh ... I'm just legit addicted to posting ... people become addicted to the internet look it up

I don't believe being failure in life exists anymore. Even after 10 years when you will have achieved all your dreams, you will find some other negative issues and thoughts of feeling like a failure will come back. The cycle will go on.... really whats the point about thinking and feeling like that anymore. someday you will get tired of your failures itself and become a completely careless person.

OP do you have a certain location you want to live in or a certain field you want to work in?
In either case I'd recommend being focused on that one component:the location or the field
Then take any job you can get in that location or field and work your ass off. I know this means you have to find that job, but I'm talking about humbling yourself. Go to temp agencies, apply for jobs you're overqualified for, hit the bricks and walk into places asking if they are hiring!
This is the best advice I can give.
I had to bust my ass to make it in my career and have people kind of look down on me for doing Data Entry or call center with a BSc + Post-grad. In my early days no one seemed to care about my resume until I had 3-5y experience in the trenches then it all came to me with minimal effort.

OP the prop with millennial is the inability to self assess- First, do not compare yourself to anyone. Know you simply are not living up to your own potential.
You need to work on creating an environment where you live up to your own potential- Who do you currently need to network with or groups you need to be in touch with so you can shorten your learning curve in the area of interest- Not specifically a mentor, but like minded individuals
90% do not write down their goals after January... they just feel bad for themselves when "life is not fair"
You are in direct control of your daily actions, and how you respond to your day-
You need to embrace failure, and want bigger problems.... if you are not failing you are not learning
What do you actually want to accomplish? Do daily affirmations
Write down your daily successes and what you need to work on to get you towards your goals, your goals are important but also define your why
The book "One thing" will tell you, what is one thing i can do today to get me towards my goals
Do not fall for shiny object syndrome... there are endless ways to make money. Pick/ Study/ Take action on one niche and stick with it-
I know you said real estate- there's tons of good podcasts to listen to about REI and investing to get cash flow

Op your just pursuing a dead field. You never had a chance to be CEO 10k a day within a few short years. You should've been focusing on e commerce/coding/something business related, BC that's where all the fat money is
Look at everyone that got on the Amazon FBA train when it first started a few years ago. People literally just bought pallets of cheap Chinese crap, slapped them on Amazon and they sold like crazy, because at the time it wasn't too saturated. Because those people got in early, they made crazy money in a short time period and now have a foothold in the Amazon sales game. Nowadays it's crazy oversaturated and would be way tougher to get into, but see what I mean when I say e commerce is where the big bucks are at these days?
If you can code, understand marketing then oh lawd. You can make fckn bank

The first step of achieving goals is setting them just at the end of what is possible for you. At this point a gtr is not on that list. Start off small and build upon it. Also the first thing you do shouldn't be dumping 100 grand into a depreciating asset. That's a chit fukking strategy. Pride and ego equal broke street. Don't be a dumb ass. Establish yourself, buy a house, save as much as you can, invest, and then if everything else goes to plan blow money on a car. Dropping that much money on something that loses half its value the second you drive it off the lot when you hardly have a pot to piss in is the dumbest thing you can do. Also don't come off as an *******. Saying you're quicker and more confident than a southerner just sounds arrogant and probably has more to do with you not getting hired than anything.
Tl;dr
Make realistic goals, build upon them. Make smarter financial decisions and don't buy that car until you have the money to lose. And be a little more humble. Holding yourself on a pedestal isn't going to get you where you want to be.

you failed
but that doesnt mean you are failure
you need to make a lesson from failures, when you stop learning from mistakes and keep repeating them
then thats a problem you need to take care of

I probably am a failure in other people's eyes. 25 yo virgin with a small dick, no money, no diploma nor work experience. Don't have a lot of friends and i'm not going out much. People around me already graduated and bought houses with their SO. But I don't feel like a failure. On the contrary, I feel great.
How can I feel great?
- Because I have a good sense of who I am (my values, believes, identity, etc.) and don't do chit thats not in line with who I am. This creates self-respect (which is so so important) and self-confidence. (Edit: Maybe self-esteem is a better word instead of confidence)
- I don't compare myself to other people. Well I do sometimes, but I don't let myself get carried away with it. Just remember that time is relative. Good things will come if you keep trying. So the result of this is you don't create expectations you cannot possibly achieve, and thus don't get upset when you don't have what others have and are content with what you do have.
- I continuously try to get better. I don't care what it is. If I can improve it within reasonable time and effort, I'll do it. This keeps me busy and I keep "evolving", which obviously will pay out in the future. This is important because otherwise you'll just get stuck and lose hope. When you have lost hope, it's game over.
It all comes down to being strong mentally. A strong mind will be succesful (whatever that may mean to you) eventually and already is a success on it's own. Feeling like a failure or unhappy is simply you choosing to feel like that.
You mentioned reading books. I noticed these were all in the category of "how to get a job or get rich". Why don't you try to read something that focusses on you and your mental health? A few good examples would be "The happiness trap" by russ harris and "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey.
I'm in the same boat with applying for work everywhere and no getting no chance. I know it sucks, but it's important you stay postive and have hope.

You are unemployed and are dreaming of a GTR? You need to start dreaming of savings and becoming comfortably financially. I drive a 2005 honda civic.

Thank you for the responses ITT. Let me explain a couple of things.. Of course when we are all young, if we like cars we have a dream car.. Obviously as I got older, or now, I know its not exactly realistic.
A few things about me. I rarely go out, rarely spend money on clothes, rarely eat out; i really have no desire for any of those things. If I do somehow get a good paying job, the only thing Id actually want is a GTR and real estate. I have 40k invested over the last 3 years working random jobs.

I was worried at the time but now I realize there was nothing to worry about
Job hunting is a lot like dating, you gotta be self confident and not desperate at all. Have an abundance mentality: it's totally fine if you don't get this job because there's hundreds of other jobs you can get
And maybe there's something you can improve on. How's your resume? Is it getting a lot of responses? Are you wearing a full suit and professional hairstyle to interviews? Arriving to interviews early and doing research on the company beforehand? Etc
Edit just realized it's been 15 months with only 8 interviews. Wtf man, my 8 interviews were in 3 months of looking. I can tell by the time period that
1. Your resume isn't good
2. You're being too picky
3. You're not trying hard enough
Fix up the resume, apply to everything remotely related to your field, and treat job hunting like a full time job until you get one. Now you know what to you, it's up to you to decide if you want to do it or not

Start applying for jobs all over the country. You're a young guy. Time to leave the nest fella.
As others have pointed out, you're doing something terribly wrong if you're 0/8 on interviews

You compare yourself to others, you set unrealistic goals that you know you cant obtain so its easier to say you tried but failed than to actually try.
You are the reason you don't own a GTR
You are the reason you feel like a failure
You are you because of you
You are you

Post your resume up and edit personal info OP
You maybe applying to places that you're no where near qualified for. International Business......you should check out cyber security firms as they do business over sea's very often and need compliance officers/ITAR guru's, and the like.
You should look into being a compliance officer.....they make bank and get to travel the world.

Go out in the real world and get some experience first. Keep applying back home while you're out earning

I could have hustled harder about 5 years ago and been well over 200k salary in the IT field but alas my issue is drive/ambition.

No offence but having a life goal of owning some car is a failure in itself. I can just imagine some guy on his death bed going, "Boy, I'm sure glad I achieved my goal of owning that GTR."

Feel like a failure crew, hit a certain salary and stopped trying.
As most have said, expand your net and figure out what you're doing wrong to be 0 for 8.

And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his gods?

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I could have hustled harder about 5 years ago and been well over 200k salary in the IT field but alas my issue is drive/ambition.

If you look way ahead then mentally you expect each step to take you halfway there, you overextend your stride and fatigue yourself quickly, you also don't see little dips and bumps in the road and trip over them, and almost falling over carrying all that junk is tiring, too. But if you look just 2-3 yards ahead you take proper steps and see the obstacles and get around or over them.
Do not think of 5 years. Think of today.
Today, you need a job. Any job. Once that is done, work on your next step. And so on.
It's the same as in lifting. Don't think of squatting 500lbs. Begin with the 45lb empty bar. Then progress from there.

"They'll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it's a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed. But failure is always there, and it's okay to recognize that."- Chael P. Sonnen
