No more advice from you please

I'm so sick of certain people giving me job advice right now. Especially since these people are unemployed themselves and think they know what it takes to get a job right now.

Yeah let me see you use your "knowledge" and get a job first. I mean it must be working for you since you don't actually have a job at this moment and you've been receiving many "Thank you, but we've decided to pursue other applicants" calls and emails.

Yes I would like a job right now, yes I'm looking for one, no I haven't heard back from these employers. What am I doing wrong here? Can people sense the sadness in my resume? Are they seeing me as some depressed girl who got fired over something petty? I mean if I can't get a part time job as a barista then I don't know why I can't get a job right now. I'm at my wits end right now and I really don't know what to do next. I'm getting pressured by family to find something and right now because they think I sit on my ass all day and do nothing.

A certain person told me to go look for jobs at Cache Creek because lots of jobs opened up. So I checked it out...this place is roughly a two hour drive from my house to there one way. That's kind of far for me, but I won't complain because I know people who have longer commutes than that and they take public transportation. But anyways the jobs they have opened are for golf pros and well...I'm not where close to being a golf pro. They also have jobs that I'm qualified for, but they're part time positions and I just don't think the commute is worth working 15-25 a week. When I mentioned this to the person they said, "If there is a will there is a way". Well my will doesn't want to work $10 an hour and spend 4-5 hours driving to a job.

It sounds like I'm making excuses and I hate that about myself. What's the point of writing if it's going to make me feel like shit with what I have to say. I give up...I am a nobody with nothing going for myself.
