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

You are likely being too hard on yourself and setting unrealistic goals. As is, you are always going to be your own worst critic - we all are. So make it easier on yourself by setting reasonable goals.

Always? Perhaps you only fail some things some of the time. There is usually a great lesson in failure that will only help you in the future.

That can be a tough feeling. Try and think about it a little and see if you have succeeded at something. Maybe even if it was just a small thing.

Everyone can try their best, but not everyone can be the best at something. Just because you don't do as well as you would like to do does not necessarily mean you failed at it. If anything, it should just give you more motivation to try harder next time. Your failures do not define who you are.

Do you have realistic goals? It could come down to having too high expectations if you fail EVERY time you try, because if you know you truly did your best, you shouldn't be disappointed. It was your best and no more should be expected. If it's more than your best, it's unreachable, which means it was an unrealistic goal, which means you don't have a chance to complete it, aka you'll fail to reach it, because it's more than your best:)

How about the precious, "little" things" you must have gained without noticing? :) Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves we forget how far we've went. There is no such thing as failure, especially if you tried hard !

Because everyone has to fail a few times to make it anywhere in life, when you fall you ALWAYS get back up.

It depends on how you look at failure. There have been many times where I put in a lot of work and not gotten the results that I wanted/need, but that didn't mean that I failed. Sometimes, we succeed by our failures. I learn a lot about myself when I fail. Whether it be how I study, speak, or prepare for what I'm working towards.

Sometimes you're not meant to be for something. For example if you're doing really bad in sports at school but you always try your best, maybe it means that you're just not made to play sports.
