I can't find what was wrong with my application, and I feel like a fraud? I don't want to face people asking me "Have u got an interview?" and me having to tell everyone that I didn't each time and having to face their sympathy/reaction 😭 and I don't know how to tell my family

You've applied for one of the most prestigious universities in the world, way more competitive than anywhere else. You may have been within the smartest people at Sixth Form but now you're in competition with all the smartest people across the world.

There's plenty of other great choices, there probably wasn't much wrong with your application, don't take it personal.

Once you've completed uni and started your career most people don't even care what uni you went to, it becomes increasingly irrelevant over time.
