Why do I feel like a failure?

because that is how you view yourself when that isn't what you are, theres ways that you can overcome this feeling and move on with life though, contact someone on 7 cups.!

Feeling like a failure , accompanies guilt most of times ..A person might feel like a failure after a disappointing incident at any field of their lives , school , job , parenting , leading...etc These are obvious reasons to feel like a failure . Sometimes , mental illnesses can be a very productive factor of this feeling , like -Depression disorders ,anxiety disorders..etc , where they feel like they are futile and of no use and a failure to the world.

People feel this way only when they don't get what they want.But mark my words, there is nothing like failure.Its a life where we came to learn how to live so don't worry, if you don't get anything that you want then it means you are going to achieve something better than that. And failure is just a way to make us find other ways of doing a task or for achieving our goal.

Sometimes things don't work out as we expect. This can lead us to think that we are a failure however that doesn't mean that we are actually one.

Maybe your not a failure. Maybe you just think you can always do better. which is good ;) you can never go wrong with that

Sometimes when you look at others you think you should be doing as well as them or better, but they aren't you and they have their own circumstances. You are not a failure, you will succeed as long as you work hard towards your goal. What others tell you is irrelevant, just do your best.

Well i think this is quite an important question, in the modern world we have a cultural system where the view of failure and succes is quite aimed at consumism, so basically if you have a lot of many and lots of hot girls around you are a succes, if not you are a nobody. That of course brings a lot of problems the our society has. To me the real succes or failure shouldn't depend in society's definition of it, it should depend on what goal you have in life and how close or far you are to accomplishing it, also this goal has to be as realistic as possible, that doesn't mean that it has to be easy, but i wouldn't reccomend to wish something that's impossible to get, that will only lead to frustration. So basically it's about knowing yourself and your capabilites, and also your weaknesses.

There is no right answer for it. Maybe you feel like you haven't achieved enough? Set up a plan and start working on your goals!

You might be setting standards that are extremely high and unrealistic for yourself and expecting to reach them without any mistakes, or too much hard work (because it should be easy, shouldn't it?) It's not easy, and you'll make mistakes. You're very human. You're not a failure. The things you've done in the past don't matter anymore, no matter how much they've affected your current life. The things in your future are unpredictable, unknown. Don't be too harsh on yourself.

It's all because of low self-esteem. Stop thinking this way and just try to be positive. Everybody is awesome if they unleash their awesomeness.
