I tried tobe good at work, I tried to be self independant, I tried to read and study to learn more. All of that has gone with the wind. I am nothing and failure is waiting for me.

@DinaElwy Hi Dina. I don't know you or your life, but I don't want to belive what you've written. Sometimes it takes a few (or a lot) of tries to get where you want or need to be. Please don't give up on whatever goals you've set for yourself.

Sometimes I feel like I am nothing and a failure too. It's really tough out there's a lot of pressure of succeed. You may feel like nothing and failure ,but often times feelings arent the same as facts.

In my case I try to say to myself: "I had a setback at work or in accomplishing my goals" or "I made a mistke" and try to not judge myself as an individual.

You are not a failure, and I encourage you to think of all the ways you have succeeded in your life. I'm sorry you are feel discouraged right now and that's okay. Go easy on yourself and keep moving.

So I can actually relate pretty well. I'm in a job I'm probably not qualified for with expectations that are near impossible to meet. (Due to the shift after the lockdown.) I know it's tempting to give up. I almost have. It's important though to remember we must survive. For ourselves and the businesses. We must strive best we can to support others. I may fail. I may succeed. Giving up though will just make things worse. So struggle and try for the sake of yourself and the business. I hope you find your confidence soon!

Hey! I think often times we feel like failures because of things we're struggling with. Funny enough...at some point today I felt the same way myself. When we struggle with something we often tend not to see all the things that we ARE good at or we're not struggling with. Don't give up on yourself. Keep trying!
