Why do I always fail even when I try my hardest?

I think that the term always fail is inaccurate! There are so many things different people are good at, and when we can be honest with ourselves and put our own shame aside we can see that we are all so different and all so incredibly talented in our own ways

Failure is the milestone to success. Keep trying and failing because that's the best way to live life.

It definitely depends on what you're trying to achieve. For example, I am great at Drama and music over here. When I have classes to do with it, I don't need to put that much effort into them because I find those topics easy. But, when it comes to Biology, I really have to work hard and put in extra study to achieve the goals I want to, because that kind of topic doesn't come naturally to me. Over all, it could be a matter of needing more practice at something (like a musical instrument), needing to gain a better understanding like trying to learn a new language and getting to know the cultural differences between the two. What you need to remember that just because you're not succeeding in that particular area, it doesn't mean you aren't succeeding in other areas of your life. Build on your strengths, and build UP your "weaknesses" I'm not sure if this is super helpful, but I hope you get an idea of what i'm aiming to get at.

First of all, if you tried your hardest then it is not a failure if you do not succeed. To paraphrase Thomas Edison "I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work." Sometimes things do not work the way we anticipated even if we tried our hardest. But it is only a failure if you fail to look for what you can learn from the experience to help you moving forward

Part of life is learning emotional resiliency. Being able to bend without breaking is a skill that many spend their entire lives striving to achieve. Part of becoming emotionally resilient is keeping your goals modest. If you fail because try to accomplish far too much, you've more or less not failed because you've tried your hardest. You've failed because you've tried your hardest at something that you couldn't have accomplished anyway. Instead, create modest goals to incrementally work your way up to accomplishing a much grander goal. The over all goal of having a great day might start with getting up by a certain time. You might follow it with tidying your bedroom, taking a shower, and cooking a healthy breakfast. All small things that contribute to the larger thing. Where emotional resiliency comes into play is accepting that if you fail at a smaller thing and you bend and don't break, you'll be able to keep moving forward till you accomplish that larger goal.

Maybe because you're trying too hard, putting too much pressure on yourself. If you set the bar too high than anything below that is considered a failure.

Maybe you're too hard on yourself. With more positivity, I'm sure you'd be more likely too suceed, and a positive attitude would be very beneficial in the first place, even if you were to fail, you wouldn't take it out so strongly on yourself.

You do not fail. Failing is not trying. You might not achieve your goal YET but push push push. You'll get there one day.

Winning is not about trying hard! you're using all your brain .. for that thought alone .. Accomplishing is more like trying your best in the effort of knowledge you've learnt .. There's no winning to trying hard!! Your brain is being overworked on the purpose of succeeding .. If you just breathe and give yourself pace and time - you'll learn it is much easier to pace then to take too many steps ahead :)

I think that failure is only a perception. There are so many out there that wouldn't try. So the fact that you are is already success! If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! Each time we don't succeed, we have an opportunity to learn for the next time! Keep your head up and keep smiling, because no matter what, the world is a better place with you in it!
