Don't say that your a failure, it doesn't make anything better.
But I understand, I feel like that all the time,
I'm put myself down because I'm not doing what I'm suppose to be doing.
Just don't give up, community college you say?
That's not the end of the world,
if nothing works out even when you graduate you can still study more.
However, if you don't even try or follow through with your plans, then you are a failure.

@Phail: I'm really glad that things worked out for you. ^^
So what kind of chef or food would you like to work with?
Its just, I'm going for a medical degree and I don't have enough money for medical school, even though I'm almost done with all of my general ed in sciences & math for med school....
So I can't go even though I'm smart enough to. TT________TT

@goldfish: That's good. *nod*

@MissMarie: How do you like working at subway? I don't even have a job to speak of....which is why I'm poor. Lol. Aww, poor Marie. *hugs* That made me almost cry when you were talking about never being kissed.... I've had relationships, been kissed and even had sex... but it was short-lived and in the end my heart always gets stomped on. D: -dies-

@iRandall: See, I have the same problem... When I was a kid and they told me I had a high IQ I expected myself to be a doctor by the age of 18... Yes, I know thats crazy, but I always thought I'd do something amazing... but nope. Lol.

@zombie: Cute pie in sig. 0 30 hehe.

@Mystic: Aww, that sucks, dear. *hugs* ><
Was the seperation consensual? I got kicked out of my parents house when I was 16... I wish I still lived with them, than I wouldn't be so stressed and depressed... *sigh*

Yes, you're probably right. 8) I just need to be optimistic...
Its just I've been looking for a job for nearly 4 months and no luck.
*nod* I'm going to the community college, cause even though I was accepted by 3 universities I couldn't afford to go once my parents kicked me out...

@Krazy: Hmm, geometry is kinda confusing, but you have to imagine the 3D images in your brain... Imagine the several layers and directions and shapes. I was really good at geometry...I'm also an artist but I used to be in drafting so it just clicked for me.

Aww, that really sucks! I hope things work out...
I know how hard it is to make friends at a new school cuz I used to move around a lot as a kid and I didn't have any close friends either... its hard.

@sun: Aww, thats a bummer. I had trouble with math in high school...
I think its cuz the math teachers are just sooo bad at explaining the ideas.
Hmm, your dad sounds a lot like mine... Always pessimistic. XD

@strude: Haha, thats actually really like whats happening to me. XD
My older bro is already at a university... And here I am, unemployed and flunking a class. Lol.
I can never keep a job either... cuz I always argue with the manager or do something crazy. ><
Last time it was cuz I screamed "SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!" in my manager's face and he was all like, "You know this is the last straw right? *stare of hatred*" And I'm all, "Wait.... please forgive. I have turrets..." And he was all, "I know you don't have turrets... I have all of your medical records right here." "Oh crap..." I have lots of funny stories about how I lose jobs. Lol.

Oh my I'm the same way... I think money is only for food and rent... and status to me is like the least important thing ever... I mean, I hate politics, so why would I get involved? XD
Well, I hope you find someone you can raise kids with. ^^
And hopefully they have money so you can travel... hehe.

@Glitter: Dependency is hard to kill...
I'm independent cuz I got kicked out of the house when I was 16 and had to learn to defend for myself after being homeless for a few months. *sigh* The world is a cold place... So don't leave your parents until you're truly ready to fight or die. *likes to overdramatize things* XD

@Candied: *nod* True that...

@Christa <333: Aw, I love you! *kisses* <33333
*nod* Its cheap, which is what I like...
Yeah, I heard on the news that like a million ppl lost their jobs this yr...
Sooo that made me feel better but worse (cuz that means the economy is really in the gutter).
I worked at jcpenneys before the economic downfall. XD

I've been feeling rather like a failure, myself, as of late. I pretty much fear I may be sliding into depression, which is no fun at all. I quit my job in February, before the economy went insane, and it's been nearly impossible for me to find a job since.

I stopped going to my community college because I was put on academic probation, and never really got around to going down and getting it taken care of. The problem is, since I'm pursuing music, a degree is practically meaningless, so I've an issue justifying even paying for community college.

So, basically, other then my band practices, I spend every day at home searching the internet for employment. Clearly, I'm not making effective use of my time at the moment, but yeah, I pretty much feel like a failure.

I've always been a bit of a pessimist. Well... a lot of a pessimist. Because of that, I tend to spend a lot of time feeling like a bit of a failure, only because my life is not what I want it to be. The way I've been fighting it lately is with planning and hoping that my most recent employment endeavors will be successful, but with Christmas looming, I fear I will not have the money necessary to purchase gifts for my family. I'm already going to need to spend my birthday money on gifts for missed birthdays.

Ack, sorry. This wasn't suppose to turn into a pity party. Anyway, in answer to the question, yeah, I do tend to feel like a failure.

You're only a failure if you give up and do nothing about your circumstances...at least that's what I believe.
At times I have felt like a failure, since I've lived at home and haven't gone out into the world like other young adults. At other times I feel as though it was smarter for me to not do that.
That situation will work itself out here in the future, because I do not mean to stay her indefinitely.

As for Community College, I'd have to say that it was a great experience for me. I loved most of my teachers, plus they were much more hands on and available for me whenever I needed help with a problem. That is a definite plus in my book. I do feel that it helped me to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. Not to mention the amazing people I met there and was friends with at the time. :P

Community colleges are excellent for starting out at, and finishing the basic stuff before going to a four year college to finish up whatever career or major you want to have. I was fortunate that I figured out that Massage Therapy was more my field than having to stay in college and writing a ton of papers and taking a bunch of classes just to get some degree that probably wouldn't have done much for me anyways. At a younger age I figured to be a better writer I should get a major in English Literature...thank goodness I decided not to. It saved me a ton of money not to mention going in a direction that may have completely stressed me out.

When I turned 25, I hit this huge Wall o' Failure. I just hated how my life had panned out, I wasn't doing anything. I had all these dreams, but all I had to show for it was some half-finished drawings and some cosplay awards. XD I decided to go back to school after that. But I was having trouble affording everything, so I took up a part time job, which turned to unofficially full-time, 90% of the time while trying to balance my classes. It was very hard for me to keep up, as I have a hard time concentrating on two things when I'm physically and mentally exhausted.

So I got the retail job out of the way, and I'm not sure what's going on with school other than taking classes to improve my current project. But I have to say that I'm much happier than I was a year ago. I love what I'm doing. n_n Though there's a lot of times when I do feel like a complete failure. Though I have to keep pressing forward, I guess. XD

There's a saying that every failure leads to a new success. So... hopefully that's actually true. :O

Iam a big loser cause I dident all ways get good grads in math I am
really good at math do you like math? Ilove it

Mmmm.
No, I really haven't ever felt like a failure.
I've been unhappy with nearly every aspect of my life at times, but I've never thought of myself as a failure.
You're only a failure when you give up and stop trying.

I don't ever feel like a failure at life, but sometimes I just feel like I totally failed at saying or doing the right thing, and I want to punch myself in the head and rip my own teeth out, and I feel like I'm just the biggest idiot ever and will never overcome it.

I hate that feeling. ._.

It's sad, actually, that college does that so often. College, which is supposed to uplift and build a new future for that person through studying, hard work, and great learning experiences.

However, they arse rape you with self-doubt, worry for scholarships, grade point averages, student loans and book prices. It's so stressful... friends of mine have come to me crying in frustration of Finals and studying and grades and money to pay for it all.

I totally understand.... right now I'm having money trouble by the Community college I go to because of a student loan and it not being able to send my transcript to the University I'm trying to transfer to.... And I'm not sure how long the University will wait for the transcript... or if they will even accept me. Even worse is thinking about Scholarships and student loans to pay for it all....

In short, I feel your pain.

Let me see, Been feeling like a total failure since the age of.. 8 I belive it started... and until I was about 23, yes. I was picked on alot in school, both with words and beatings. I used to live in a really small town and well the teatcher didn't really like me as well, told me I was to stupid to turn into anything. So at the age of 16 I went to Canada as an exchange student and well in the end came home only to drop out of school and land my ass into drugs.

Took me about six years to get over that. 23, I meet two people that changed my life. My closest friends to this day, We call ourself the soul-syplings and I think in some distent life we must have been, for we are so connected. Now I am 31, married to the most amasing man and loving every moment of my life. Good things come to those that wait and belive in hope.

Dreams do come true, You just have to keep beliving.

Pift failure...horrid word don't use it, I don't...not seriously anyway the fact you care means you haven't failed, if you give up now then you really will have, keep your head up and look life straight in the face, and keep on moving that's what I do...that's what ALL of us do, and I plan to keep doing so, life isn't beautiful but I'll be damned if its all we have some days, if nothing Else I wish you luck.

i feel like that alot....sigh--life blows sometimes lol

Cheap is good. :yes:
Especially when you're poor, like we both are. xD; -hugs-

Yeah, and people who don't have jobs can't seem to get hired. :<
This whole thing with the economy is...scary. x_x
Although, there are places that are hiring here...

don't worry, no ones perfect, and i totally feel like that too.

i feel like a failure sometimes.
so depressing ><

i always did..and nothing ever made me feel better!
...hmph...and people wonder why i'm like this?!
well it's their fault!!!
i hate this!!

Currently I'm at a point in my life where I do feel like a failure, despite the fact that I am doing everything within my power to fix it.

I finished College last year with mediocre results, but, that was through lack of trying on my part. It's my own fault, though it might be hard to admit that to myself.

However, I am currently working in a dead-end, low paying job. But, it's to pay the tuition fees for a course that will hopefully enable me to gain worthwhile employment in the future.

Of course, although I know the future might work out in my favour, at this very moment in time I am not where I want to be at all.

I did work in a lovely little Art Gallery a few months ago, and I thought I had a future there. Sadly, the current economic crash ruined that.

We all fail in life in our life, but I think failing is a good thing...
Makes you even a better person, from learning your mistakes.

Duude. I know. @[email protected]
An example;

Okay, so I've been playing tennis for 4 years. My coach says I'm pretty good. But when he put me up against a newbie, I lost!

omg, I fail. ;_____;

I constantly did until I turned 21. Never felt like a failure after that. Weird huh?

I feel like a failure when I do something wrong even if its a little thing. ): Or when I forget something.

I felt like a failure when I had to move out on my own at sixteen and had no idea what to do. XD

That's good then. :lol: It's a sign that you left your angst-ridden teenage years behind you.

Yeah, I'm the same way.

I feel like a failure when I get a bad grade or I get lazy.
