In my experience, this feeling comes from not feeling like we've lived up to our expectations of those around us. Try to surround yourself with people who are positive and will help you succeed at every turn!

Why do I feel like a failure? well people feel like failures because of different things. I for one, feel like a failure, if i have a chat with a member and i fail to make them feel good. In other words, when we fail one thing, we feel like a total failure.

You need to have more confidence in yourself. You need to tell yourself that if try, you'll be successful.

Because you focus on the bad side. You're not noticing the accomplishment you've done. The only thing you notice is your mistakes, but can't you see, your mistakes are just stepping stones to be better?
