so I want to know does anyone ever try something as hard as they can to the best of their ability hoping they did a wonderful job only to be told they completely and totally failed. To be told they are horrible at what they do and just basically cant do it. How do you feel if you put your all into something and then get told you are horrible at what you did.

edit: That being said, if people are offering constructive criticism rather than just saying "this is awful and give up", it could be helpful to take some of it on board to improve!
You would think its that straight forward but it's not. It is really not. Also you never fully answered my question. You are lucky if you just can see it as other people would like it. Truth is no one likes stuff I do.
Truth is I struggle with self confidence much the same as you do, and it's not straightforward or easy at all, but most things never are. It's true that there are a few lucky people who just ooze self esteem and are able to not care about what others think, and there are some who have to really work at it and overcome those obstacles. Sadly though no one can just tell you what to do to make you feel better. People can give advice but it's something you have to take on board and work on yourself. If I could wave a magic wand and fix the world's problems (as well as my own haha) I totally would, but life just isn't like that
I've done a lot of things where I felt like i wasn't good enough and even told i wasn't good enough... it sucks.
My attitude has changed though... now i'm more stubborn - and if i'm told i can't do something i will keep doing it + I will eiter cut out the person in my life who told me i was awful at what i did or i won't ask their opinion again or listen to it.
I really do get what you're talking about though - i do experience the same feelings of failure, especially if i compare myself to others - but i'm trying to keep those thoughts away.
Exactly. OP has made this thread several times, and the answers apparently are never good enough so I struggle to understand the point behind making it yet again.
Dang, you're right. No one likes making sappy threads a million times to get pity and then just condemning people's advice.
If there's one thing you're good at, I gotta say you're great at being persistent to get attention. So, good on you. *claps*
YAAAAS!! This is me too! I'm stubborn and I also am like "challenge accepted" person. If someone tells me I fail at something, I try even harder even when I think I already did my best before. You can only get better from that.
its part of life anyone who does any thing dancing drawing cooking has hard that at least once and maybe you are right now
thats why you have to keep working at it so that you can be great
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you can taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
You wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient, waiting
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You're confused and got it all figured out
Everything that you've always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
You wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient, waiting
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight (When you need to find the strength)
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only we get there is one step at a time
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
I think I am a good bit older than you and have failed so many times that I cannot count. Several times that failure has been commented on by teachers or people who like to bring them up time after time. The only thing to do is just carry on and learn by your mistakes. I've forgotten most of them and gone on.
Some famous people's quotes that might help and don't forget even NASA made a lot of failures trying to get to Mars! ................
“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning – and some of them many times over – what do you find? That you can swim? Well – life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!”
– Alfred Adler
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
– Michael Jordan
.“A man may fall many times, but he won’t be a failure until he says that someone pushed him.” (relevant here)??
– Elmer G. Letterman
well i am about to open up another "emo" thread.
Oh boy, can't wait.
People do know what it's like. I know what it's like. Others who read and have commented on this thread know what it's like. I'm not exactly sure why you seem to think you're the only person in the world who suffers, or has low confidence, or has been treated unfairly, but you're not. There are things you've been through that I won't understand, and there are things that I will. Equally there are things I've been through that you'd never understand. But regardless, there are many, many people who genuinely want to help you here but you make it really difficult when all you seem to do is throw people's advice back in their face, often rudely, and cry "no one understands me!". You can actually make a difference in your life and how you feel but it has to come from you. I, among other people here, will be here if and when you decide you want us to be but until then there's no point in making constant threads if you don't want other people's advice or opinions. I'm not entirely sure what you do want if I'm honest and I guess you need to figure that out first.
Best wishes. I genuinely hope you sort things out for yourself.
Quit whining and pretending like you know our lives. Nobody's perfect.
There's a real world out there with people who have an even worse life than you, like fighting hunger and having bad sanitation.
Open your eyes and consider yourself lucky that you have shelter, food and internet.
Maybe he's just a sad lonely kid who wants to be talked to. LOL.
Just hang on in there. We all get that feeling sometimes but if you feel that way often you might need to see your doctor.
