Everyone feels like a failure sometimes, what's important is being able to move on and better yourself from whatever situation you've gotten yourself into. What's important is not the fact that things are going badly, it's that you can better yourself from this. As long as you tried, then you haven't failed, as lame as that might sound. I hope things look up for you, and everyone in the thread that feels that they've failed, or are a failure. *hug*

I always do. It's mostly when I go to my father's house because everyone there hates my guts. If I take a shower and it's more than 20 minutes, my step mother will start yelling. Not long ago she called me useless. D:

i kinda' always feel like that because of my parents
they always make me feel like a failure
and like they wished i was never born
even though i keep telling to myself is just their fault
they are just making me think a lot maybe i am actually a failure
i don't have any purpose to live
everything i do is wrong, according to my parents!

Right now I feel like a failure... because I'm slipping in my grades in my university, and I don't enjoy taking up Engineering anymore, and well, mom keeps on ranting how much she and dad spends for my tuition and blah, making me sound like I'm a financial burden to them... D:

i tend to feel like a failure alot even if i've done nothing wrong, its just the way i've been since i was about 14.

I felt like a failure just today when my mom called me on the phone and started screaming at me saying how I'm going to screw up my life, how I am just bullshitting around, how all my teeth are gonna fall out if I dont go to the dentist how I'm not doing anything with my life how I'm a screw up. Guess how i felt?? Like a failure! So I hung up the phone on her. And I am still upset.

I felt like a failure today. I work with children with special needs as a therapist. Today, myself and the "team" who work with one of the children I work with, had to tell the mother of this child that her daughter is moderately mentally retarded (god I hate that word). We basically broke the child's mom's heart. The mom started crying, it was miserable. I wish I had a magic wand I could wip out and fix this child for her mom. I don't. I feel like we, as a team failed this child. I know in my heart the reality is, that we do as much as we can for this child...Mental retardation happens...No one can fix it. Still...It's hard not to feel like a failure in situations like this.

Yea I really do, I got a horrible prof this semester and she marked a paper unfairly to the point that I have to appeal it.
I've never done this poorly, to be in my program you have to be reasonably smart and she's taken my confidence and crushed it like a bug.

Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. Community colleges can be really good. They can help you get organized and learn a lot of important skills-- and they make you a lot more marketable than someone with no college education at all! :) You don't sound like a failure to me.
