I think that's one of a big problem for candidates to fix - that mindset is wrong and should be changed. An interview should not be a "high stakes situation". It should be more of a casual event - trying to get each other and see if there's any fit. An interview that didn't go well is effectively the same as not having an interview at all. Worst case is losing some time and even then it's often a possibility to learn something.
Taking it all too personally is a big mistake. Sometimes even candidates that did really well don't get a job offer for weird reasons, etc.
It's very similar to dating. Desperation ruins everything.
I think that might be a reason why a lot of people report getting a job after they stopped carrying anymore.
