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

You may not always fail even if it seems like it, if you aren’t getting to your goal, don’t put yourself down, just keep practicing and one day it’ll show and then you’ll see that all your work was worth it in the end. Everyone struggles with things more than others, but that doesn’t make us failures, that makes up people who have a longer and more interesting path ahead of us. Keep your mind clear, and your hopes up. I know you can do it! All you have to do is believe in yourself and things will eventually start to turn around for you.

I’m glad you asked me this question. Personally, i have experienced this type of situation so many times, especially in school. Failing can be a hard setting to go through, but it shouldn’t negatively affect us, especially if we tried our hardest. Trying your hardest is always important, but if you fail just remember, failing opens a door to a new lesson on how to do better. Trying your hardest is effective if you know how to do it in a healthy way. Stressing to succeed usually increases your chance of failing. If you spend more time relaxing, planning and pacing your plans, it will surely increase your chance of succeeding. Don’t let this bring you down. You will have a long road of accomplishments later on!

Success depends to a great extend on how comfortable we feel in our own skin, how much self-esteem we have and consequently with what thought we approach a task, whether with the thought I can or I will fai. The strong desire to accomplish something successfully can increase the rate of failure. It also causes pressure and thus anxiety. The harder we try the more anxious we become. Accepting failure as part of the learning process is crucial also lower expectations or if necessary try something where the success rate is higher. The drive for perfection can lead to fail. We are human and human are not perfect.

Not everyone succeeds and those who don't, they don't fail they only learn. I personally didn't make it through many things but it doesn't mean I didn't learn, in fact I learnt better and I am sure you can too. Just have some faith and you will reach your goals! I wished to get the best grades and had high hopes too and so did my parents but unfortunately I got just average but its fine I learnt and so yeah.

It is not true, you do not always fail, you just do not pay attention at when you succeed. Failing is not always a bad thing, it means learning and growing everyday, having more experience. Try to focus on the good side of it. Trying your hardest is challenging and if you do not always reach your goal that does not mean that you sre not smart or worth it. Taking it as a challenge would be the right choice and you will get your results. You do many successful things everyday, you do not notice them because you are used to them :)

I find that, to make yourself comfortable and when listening to your breath, let it be natural rather than controlling it, as you start enjoying relaxing and listening to the in and out breath your body will automatically relax and make you feel still and in the moment, the present moment. In this moment there might be thoughts that are from your day, let them pass by and don't feel tense about them. Yourself is maybe just letting you be aware of what is happening. Maybe in that moment you can nurture yourself if you choose and let yourself know that you are loved and very much cared.

First of all let's define "failure". Does failing mean achieving lower than your expectations? If so, your anxiety is completly valid. Preforming below your expectations can be extremely hard to accept. When you study for a test and fail, it feels pretty finite. It feels like that test defines you. Especially if you're used to doing well. But the reality of life is this- success is not a tidy line slowly increasing in height horizontally. Our successes and failures are part of a larger picture. Just because you "failed" today- doesn't mean you are a failure. Step back and look at your growth as a whole. Take a moment to realize how hard you worked! And understand that an A+ Doesn't mean you are perfect. And a F doesn't mean you are a failure. Grades and trophies do not define you. It is the effort and grind behind your actions that make you who you are! I know that sounds like bull**** but honestly it is 100% true. I have a hard time looking at the bigger picture too. But remember. Your experiences and achievement do not define you. All of that is just context. You are extraordinary and beautiful and worthy of the chance to accomplish everything you dream of. ❤️

Everyone has failed or will fail at some point in their life. It just happens but its how u react to failure that's important. If every time u fail it takes u 3 days to get going again well then that's 3 opportunities that u just threw away. This can be a depressing thought but it can also be a huge help. There's this quote and it says I'm thankful for my struggles for without them I wouldn't have stumbled across my strength. And if u think about it that so true. We find out how strong we are when we are tried. If everything was easy we would have no idea what we were capable of and u feel like that's a big deal. And that quote has helped me so much bc like how true. Whothout everything I went through how would I ever know that I could and it boosted my confidence and it helps me the next time something doesnt go right or I fail I remember that it's making me better.

Because we are human, and humans make mistakes. That is where we get stronger: getting up, learning from it and trying again! The trick is to never give up on yourself and believing that you can do annything. I used to fail at things all the time. I believed I was worthless and that I was a huge dissapointment to my parents. Untill I learned how to talk about it. Now I am living in the country of my dreams, speaking 7 languages and my house is full of Anime figurines. Truth is, I was never a failure, I just had to figure out what I was good at and focus on that instead! Like they say: you can’t judge a fish for it’s inabillity to climb a tree.

Two weeks ago it was my first time on the pottery wheel at my ceramics class. For the first day, I couldn’t get the clay centered while someone had already saved a pot. The next day a few more classmates could save their pieces. I couldn’t even center the clay let alone save a piece. It was failure over failure. It was my 13th ball of clay when I saved my first piece. I was on the edge of crying every time I messed up with a ball of clay, but I always talk to myself that I was strong, I filled my mind with positive thoughts and guess what? A few days ago I just made a perfect piece and I was thrilled. So the answer to the question: we fail even when we try our hardest because we deserve a moment once in a lifetime when we finally achive something that we had always failed. It’s bitter sweet and that’s the moment we have been saving our tears for. I mean the happy tears.
