While I do sympathize with your situation and understand how frustrating it must be, I can't help feeling a bit put off by this comment.

Perhaps there's something about your résumé that conveys a whiff of entitlement, which may be why you're not getting the responses you expect?

If I were a prospective employer and had to choose between two applicants, one whose recent work experience showed a willingness to continue toughing out a menial job and making the best of it, and the other who says he's been living in his car and selling plasma to earn food money because a menial job would "kill him inside," I know which one I'd be more likely to go with.
