All of us have failed in some aspects of our lives. And of course sometimes we just want to keep our failures on our own, we don;t want to share it to other people, fearing that they might judge us, mock us or, criticize us for our weak points. How about you? are kind the scared to tell everyone or even your closest friends when you failed on something? I think we must not be afraid of sharing our experiences to others whether its success of failure, joy of pain, because it could be a way for them avoid committing same mistakes. But I myself find it hard to disclose my failed experiences especially to those people who seems to be perfect and has a high standard or perfectionist person. How about you? Do you love telling people every experiences you had whether good or bad, failure or success? How do you do that? What do you feel for doing that

Hi mayrah! every experiences whether it is failure or success, you are right in your disclosure and experiences, we cannot trust to anyone but don't keep whatever failure or success in yourself and hide it inside your heart, most found attitude in person are those with high class attitude, and the most common is Hippocrates or perfectionist.
I do love telling the failure and success in my life to my parents, they are my very trusted person that i can tell whatever problems I do have in my life.Do telling my good or bad experiences to my parents is enough for me to feel more confident.

I tell some on my things to other people, good or bad, specially if my experience will help them in any way. But I don´t tell everything. I feel some experiences are absolutly intimate and will not share them with anyone. I don´t think that other people will aboid commiting mistakes just because we tell thewm not to do something. We have learned by the method of trial and error and that is a human trait.

only to few specific close frens which are trustworthy and not betray or break the trust for many years.However from experience, these friends are rare and tend to break secret to others.However, they can be identified by the way they talk , if they like to boost about other people weakness and gossip then very likely they will break secret and tell people your secret sooner or later.

All the best....

I am a person who left alone with her problems will start to worry so much she will start to eat walls. Coping with failures is something I can't do alone. I know perfectly well that I'm not perfect and probably never will so why would other people think so? I used to keep my failures to myself and looking back it wasn't a good idea. When you talk about them to somebody you can find comfort and acceptance. I found just recently that sharing experience of failures might be quite fun if you're sharing it with a right person. Laughing out all your worries will make you feel better and probably you will learn to keep distance from yourself. And it's really important to have somebody to tell you that it's okay to make mistakes and that it doesn't really matter.

Honestly,i'd like to share my sweet and sorrow to my good friends,for they could understand me and help me out.If we all tell them how sad we are and do not listen to them sometimes,the result is still not good enough for our personal development.I also learn to be a good listener,just be happy and choose to enjoy our life.lol

It depends on the people you are facing.I think you can tell failures to people who are open-minded,and will accept you for what you are.I seldom disclose failures to everybody especially judgmental people.

I think if you have a friend you can trust 100% you can share anything with him.You need to tell someone if you believe something is wrong but be careful.Don`t tell too much to too many people though even if you are a friendly person and you think they are your friends.The less they know about you the better it will be for you.

I do not tell all my failures and achievement to my closest friends at all time,but I tell them when I think I must or I can.
I used to tell my best friend all my problems.He also told me problems of him that he never told anyone but me.
It feels good when we release our feelings.
I no more tell my best friend my failures because we broke up.

being a frequent movie goer and an avid reader of books, i learned that it is best to be open about our failures because the more you keep them to yourselves, the more it tends to go out and there would be so much more to be embarrassed about. Someone once told me that the key to being comfortable with who we are is to accept who we are. I guess its the same with failure. if we accept it, we would be comfortable with it. I also think that failure exists to teach us lessons that winning or succeeding couldn't. as they say, everything happens for a reason. :D

We all are humans.man is made of mistakes.so,failure and success are the two phases of life.if one fails,the another one succeeds.so dont be shy to consent the truth of failure.assess our self and think the reason and then the solution of the failure.be practical.i used to approve my failure.

When I'm talking to someone I'm sure I will never meet again, I don't care, I let them learn from it :D
Otherwise I'm careful, I got hurt many times sharing my failures with people who then turned it against me. There are some mistakes I feel ashamed to talk about even with my closest friends. When I see that someone is getting in a similar situation I share my experiences with them though (but the problem is that if they act like me I will never know...)
