I REALLY DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FAILING, IM TOO OLD NOW. IM AT THE POINT WERE I JUST ENJOY MY LIFE ANYMORE. LIFE IS NOT A GAME, I GAVE THAT UP. I DO KNOW HOW TO PUT MY GAME FACE ON WHEN I NEED TOO. I DEALT WITH MY PAST FAILURES BYE CONSULTING WITH MY FAMILY. THE ONES I TRUST. AND WHO DO NOT JUDGE ME .

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

When I fail I scratch my arms until I bleed or sew into my skin. It's a habit I need to break.

Being a cry baby and falling on the bed and spending time in the darkness with blinds down

That's level one.🐾

Then I get up shower make up go out deliver eat in watch a movie talk to someone smile then laugh a bit.

End of level two.🐾

Talk about it openly accept the failure sigh a bit grin a bit sigh again go back to the normal life.

Life goes on.🐾

Much or less of this process.🍎

Failure is never easy. I've realized that thinking negatively after a failed situation is never good. I'm always one to keep positive about things that seem to be going downhill, and I always try to find a positive outlook. Failure is something that happens to everyone, and it's a way for us to realize where something went wrong, and what to do to fix it and move on. It's a process that everyone has to go through so they can pick themselves back up and keep moving forward. :)

I try my best to move on cuz to me its useless and complete waste of time to cry over failure all you can do now to learn from it.

Re-evaluate my actions, make a better plan, and try again.

@Laura

Great question. Lately, I have been re-evaluating what I define as "failure." It helps. It assists me with putting things into perspective and the power of the kind of words I choose to use. For example, if I see something as "learning" rather than "failure," I will look at the situation very differently. Failure to me sounds like judgment and I aim to instead, be more of a supporter to myself and others.

"Anyone who has never failed has never tried anything new." - Albert Einstein

Failure is a natural part of life. Like my mom always says: "You win some you lose some." Failing won't make you a complete failure, failing is a more radical way of learning. Like if you had to mix chemicals to get a certain reaction and you slip up, getting a bang instead of a fizz, at least now you'll know what not to mix. Success is all trial and error really, so make mistakes often, but don't forget to learn from them.
