Feeling overwhelmed. I could really use some good advice

I go to a pretty small liberal arts college. Everyone knows each other, and everyone’s trying to stand out. It’s kinda like HS where your extracurriculars define you.
There was this one leadership position that I really wanted, got an interview for, bombed, and got rejected from. Mentally, I understand why I was rejected but I can’t stop feeling bad about it.
I do a lot of things on campus, but I felt like this position would really help define me. Now I’m overcompensating by applying to a whole bunch of other leadership positions. How can I get over this rejection? Even though I know I’ve succeeded in other areas, I feel as if this defines me.
