I tend to stay to myself and think about for the rest of the day any what I could've done abd what went wrong. I also try to do something to get my mind off of it.

I'll feel disappointed and useless for a few days but I usually come back with a bigger and better plan.

Every day of my life is a failure. Open my eyes, get dressed and deal with it until the next day.

Not well at all. It's one of my biggest weaknesses. I let it consume me completely.

I do also take failure really hard, but more failures that are out of my control. If it's a mistake I easily made, then I'm not as concerned, but failure that I have no control over??? What do I do about that?

I'm still working on how to deal with failure. However, best thing to do is to UNDERSTAND WHY you "failed!" Then, try changing your perspective. Understand that you are not perfect and that you will have good and bad times. Nothing last forever and that's the good part about life :)

I don't deal with it very well it depends on how much I really wanted the thing. If I don't care then I can logically think of a way to improve next time. Usually, when it involves love, I feel like I've messed up some how or he would have loved me and stayed...I'm dealing with this now. But I don't think we will ever be able to be even be friends ever again.

I find failure really hard at first. Depending on how big the failure was, I take some time to think about it and just let my feelings sort themselves out. Usually given enough time, I like to think that I can learn from these failures and grow from the experience.
