I applied for a promotion and didnt get it. It’s seriously affecting me *update

I don’t know if this is a vent or what.

I’ve been at my company for a year now. First quarter working there I was a top performer with high accuracy. I started with 2 other people at the time and we usually ranked pretty similar. End of the last quarter and entire year (2021) I was a top performer. I’ve been extremely consistent in my work and improved every single time. On my year end review, I received a 2 which isn’t given out often because 3s are usually given.

A higher position opened up on my team and I was really unsure of it and my capabilities. I knew I was ready but I doubted myself. My supervisor and 2 other teammates on the team told and encouraged me to apply. I finally got over my depressive self doubt hump and did it.

All I got out of it was a rejection email from HR saying I’m not qualified for the position. I didn’t even get the chance to do an interview. What really hurts is how I had my own self doubts and I was right the entire time. My supervisor encouraged me to apply and said he had thoughts of me getting promoted and wanted that to happen for me but that would be dependent on how I interviewed.

I just didn’t get the chance at all. I was stopped in the waiting line. I would understand if I bombed the interview because of nerves but I didn’t get that opportunity. It just sucks knowing this and dealing with it.
