do you sometimes feel that you are a failure??

rarely. hehehe.. it happens you know. part of how we deal with life. sometimes we can take it but sometimes you feel like giving up. i don't compare what i have to what others have because we're totally different. others may have better but i am contented.

hello dear friend! iknow what you feel. cause i myself do feel that way sometimes. there are also times i find myself crying to sleep. there's no one i can talk to. i've never been close to my family with regards to my feelings. well,i guess this is what i am since i was young,i find it hard to open up my feelings to anyone of them. and i justlet my feelings be said to my close friends instead. there are times i also write in my diary what i am feeling about,and i still can remember my mom who have read some of those when i was still young. it made her cry,cause i said bad things there.though it was all in the past,i can never forget those. i do believe,that happiness can be found deep within our hearts.we just have to let it out,and find it within our own selves. if you keep on comparing yourself to others,you'll just end up crying and blaming yourself why is your life different from them. you don't have the right to do that.cause you don't know what they have done to reach what they have achieved in life. don't get me wrong,dear.but we all have different lives and different struggles to make in our lives. we might not be successful as what our friends or colleages are right now,but at least we are happy. i believe we have to make sacrifices for our family as well. even though at times,we can't find happiness.it's just life.we maybe down for some time,but i do believe,we'll make it to the top...we just have to do something about it...

I have been feeling this a lot lately. My life has been through so many rough spots over the past four years and it just gets me down some times. I am getting closer to 40 years old and I am looking at new career paths. I haven't accomplished many things that I would have liked to accomplish by this point in my life but I guess I have accomplished a few good things.

Unfortunately, I have this feeling a lot. I don't know why I feel this way, as I am studying for a degree which will allow me to get a good job in the future, but still I feel as though I should be doing something more, somehow. I cannot explain it, to tell you the truth.

Yes that is natural to all of us as person to feel sometimes we are failure in other way. We are not perfect human in character that is why we failed. But this not mean that to have this feelings is the end of the world but it is the strength for us to move to another way around. It is simple the life of other and his fortune is not the same as we. Feelings are about to feel and it comes out from ourselves. But please don't consider that if we failed it is the end of the world already but treasure it as a good turning point to us to become positive and successful in life.

a lot of times. =( but a lot of times i dont really care and dont feel anything lol

Well it's just like realizing that it is not always rainy or sunny day in our lives. And yes, it is really inevitable to feel that way, especially when we got disappointed even not succeed to have the something that we eagerly wanted. No one ever can say that he is a failure or successful.. we do have our own success and failures, it just that we consider others'success as our failures. Successful ones for sure also have failures, for I beleive that no one could ever have everything they want at the same time. I myself, though I know, I still have a lot of things I want but not given a chance to have it, but I never consider it as a failure. Probably that something I want is for someone else who most needed it. I look things that way so not to give failure a space in my mind and my life. Have a nice day.

I try to never allow myself to think of myself as a failure. That kind of thinking only leads to depression and low self-esteem. We should always try to find the confidence and courage to succeed. It is only failure if we don't try.

I sometimes ask myself that question especially when I see former classmates or old friends. But then I ask myself, am I a failure using whose standard? I am not perfect, I know that I am ahead in some ways, but behind in other ways. What I have learned though is that I should be comfortable with the journey that I am taking and that I am on the road to where I want to be and not what other people expect me to be.

i sometimes feel that about myself^^ i always feel i cant find a job properly, that i dont have any guy that can care much for me, that im a failure as daughter also. sometimes i feel too bad about myself. but we must not. we all have problems and sometimes we cant handle it. we need confidence and care from others to be ok again^^ dont think you are a failure^^ im sure you are not. if you feel that bcs have problems dont blame yourself. we all have problems bcs life is not easy always. but with it we learn how to find happiness^^ and life is too short for us to be sad dont you think? so dont think again you are a failure^^ cheer up and enjoy your life to the fullest and every time you feel sad talk with a good friend^^ will advise you and make you feel better^^ also im here if you need to talk also^^

Yes I do feel this way too especially when I am not able to attain something which I could have acquired if only I exerted more effort on it. I also tend to feel a sense of inferiority sometimes when I am being caught by my weaknesses. I think this is a normal experience which only proves that we are really humans who are imperfect and bounded by our own weaknesses. But despite all these, we should not allow ourselves to confined in our own weaknesses because it will only steal our self-esteem. We should live everyday maximizing on our strengths as we continue to discover life's possibilities. I treat my shortcomings as a challenge for me to give my best shot in the future adventures of life. God bless!

I think we all feel that way at times. I have days where I feel really down about myself and others where I feel proud of myself. Life is like that. On days when I am feeling down, I try to remind myself of everything I have to be thankful for and everything I have accomplished. Positive thinking bring positive results! Have a wonderful day!

I feel this way a lot. And I used to think I was the only one having these issues, which made me feel even worse. Now that people are more open about things, I'm learning that this experience we are feeling is very commonplace. Society today puts a lot of pressure on everyone to do more and do it better. We begin to feel like we are a failure if we can't. I've found that by focusing more on the positive things I've done, and less on the negative aspects, that I begin to feel better. Chances are, if you could see yourself unbiased through other peoples eyes and read their thoughts, you would find they think you are a very successful individual in a lot of ways you may never have even realized.

Yes, I also feel the same way. There is actually a reason for this. Men has no satisfaction in life. We human beings tend to strive for more than what we have. People often look at things that are absent in one's life rather than peek into those which are present by his or her side. This just means that technically, feeling useless is part of our human instincts. These facts are just aggravated with people around you who are saying you are useless. Sadly, these people also don't have any contentment with what you do. That's how sad it is, and only you can fight such feeling. :)

I feel this from time to time but as much as I can, I would always try make myself be fine by thinking that I still have so many chances to be better and it's not too late for me. Failure, sometimes, is a funny motivation for all of us who wants to succeed in life. Because in failure, all the learnings one can come up to will always be found in our own mistakes and failures. It will always be up to you on how you will accept failure. =)Because if we all accept this wholeheartedly, then we know for sure that it's never too late. Even if we think so that we are way behind.

There are many moments when we feel extremely happy and at certain times down in the dumps.I like you felt i'm a failure.But experience has taught me not to be too despondent or let the negative traits get the better of you as far as your thought process goes.This is the reason why i don't dwell too long on failure or let it get the better of me.There is a profound thought that we should treat failure and success with equanimity and not let them effect us too much.

i feel the same way too; it happens more often whenever you are to gauge your performance against your standards. Dont push yourself too hard genevy as you might end up being very frustrated and eventually loose faith in yourself. Does it always have to be perfect? Hmmm, i dont think thats possible but things get easier in time. You just have to be yourself and love yourself, that is what i always have in mind. I may not have it all but at least im happy.

i do feel i am a failure at times. a failure in my relationship with my parents and siblings. i do feel that i am a failure as a nursing graduate and as a person. but even if i was a failure in those aspects in my life i had my boyfriend that i could say i was happy at. i was proud to be in that relationship because it was successful but in the end i failed that aspect too. then i prayed because i realized and felt that i am not happy anymore and that i needed a reason to keep living my life. if in all aspects of my life is a failure only myself can think that i did my best. i have to believe and support myself because no one else would think i succeeded in something. i can only cheer for myself.

Ofcourse, those thoughts always go through my mind. Especially when you try your hardest, and sometimes your hardest is never enough. But one thing you can't think is that you are a failure, try to be positive, put positive thoughts in your mind, especially if you know you gave it all you got. Your mind and body can only handle so much pressure. There are times, that I sometimes fail to complete a task whether it be personal, school, relationship and work related and feel that I didn't give it my 100%, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't give your all, is just maybe you couldn't at the time. Unfortunately when it concerns other people, others may think you didn't do what you were suppose to, or you didn't give it your all and most of the time that occurs very often. But I always keep my head up, if I failed the first time, look back at your mistake and correct for the next time around and know that you did everything you could. But always keep your head up and stay away from negative thoughts.

everyone feel ilke a failure sometimes,that usualy heppen when everything that you think you are good with is unsuccessful in the cretin time, dont let that bother you. in my opinion you should take a small break of everything that you think is making you "faliure" or try new refreshing things. i think ull find out yourself that its just temporery emotions and get rid of the "failure emotions". anyway i wish you only luck with w/e you are trying to do =) (srry for bad grammer)
