Have you ever felt you have failed in life?

[Dashy 4 Ever 4,832]

I don't really think I've ever felt like I was failing in life... probably in the subject of friends because they keep forcing me to be someone who I'm not, if I don't want to, they just turn they're backs on my so...

This is a universal feeling. Everyone fails and everyone feels failure. You’re not alone, but you will taste success again!

[TheRockARooster 47,263]

Yes, a lot of times.

 

It’s not a great feeling.

[Rhythm Red 6,484]

Quite often... but it gets better.  

[Will Guide 21,325]

Everyone has at some point in their life, but it's important to keep doing things even though you might fail.

It's because of this I relate to Fluttershy's lazy, but hidden depths filled brother. He hides his fear of failure behind an egotistical facade, but by episode's end implied to be quite some time later, he graduated as a Mane Therapist. Just like I would do months after in University.

Well, I haven't seen a 'Game Over' screen yet. So things must be going right somewhere in my life.

[Morning Rose 29]

I don't think many people would dispute the fact that I am (all things considered) a total failure, >.<  .

I mean, objectively speaking... I just am. I don't even think it's realistic to say that I have a "life", considering that I barely exist at all.

[JonasDarkmane 19,777]

I definitely have often felt I have failed in life. I know that in hindsight, there is something I could have done differently that would have set me on a more successful path. Would I change it if I could? No, I wouldn't. 

I think things look a lot brighter than they have before, but I am still terrified of what more the future might hold for me. But I know that at least I am not alone in my path and that is an encouraging thought~

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

I feel I am where I am meant to be. There's no failure or success, but simply what is.

The universe moves me, drives me. I don't make the choices, yet, as if by inspiration I'm blown by the wind.

Something is key. Happiness, wholeness, wishes, dreams, purpose, goals have never been outside of my being.

[ManaMinori 4,143]

Very much so

Every single day

[Rainbow Dash 1,471]

Yes, but then again I live by the mantra that I am a failure everyday until I have earned death. Dark sounding, but its there so i dont get an ego.

[StarStrike 0]

Those days just exist. Though I look at failure as a way to better myself as a person. Not gonna go to deep but let's say my biggest was dropping out of college 2 years ago. Oh. And for joining the fandom in just 2013, wish I joined sooner! This community is amazing 6+ years later! <3

[Tacodidra 59,791]

Definitely. It's a feeling I seem to get more and more often. The worst part for me is not the present feeling of failure but the fear of things never changing for the better.

[Lord Midnight Madness 1,542]

Yeah I've failed before it's not fun but we learn from making mistakes. I wouldn't know so much if I didn't try it and got it right the first time or failed.

First off, it doesn't need to stay for that forever.

2nd. You are handicapped. You wouldn't expect me, 30yo bronie tech nerd to win or even run on a marathon - Or someone with a broken leg.
 

Life is much less of a competition and comparison that people make it out to be, everyone is different.

I guess you have a point. I am aware that I'm handicapped, but I still feel useless compared to others who can achieve so much more than myself. I feel like my lack of talent, doesn't leave me with my own place in this world.

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

No, or perhaps not yet? I hope I won't regret my life choices later on.

[LeafFerret 3,382]

Sometimes I feel that way.

[Xe__or 4,376]

When I had to redo my first year of college last year. I felt pretty bad, considering I've worked my ass off to pass. But then I stopped bitching and got to work again

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

No, I feel like I haven't even started life yet, to be honest. 

[Phosphor 11,522]

I had a few of those moments when I was struggling in college a few years ago. I put in the extra effort in my core courses and it payed off after graduation with a great career.  

[Partialgeek514 4,920]

I've often felt like I was failing in life. I've always struggled to make friends, have a good work ethic, or be the person I've thought I should be. I don't feel that way so much anymore, but I attribute that to me going through a month of practically full-time therapy.

[PaulBron 173]

I had some of those moments, but, i guess i can try to make some progress in life...

[Narcissus 352]

Success or failure by what standards? No one knows what life is supposed to have in store for them so who can really judge themselves negatively for what they have or have not done? Most people in my shoes would say, "Yeah, major failure there!" but I don't. I don't know what I'm going to do or what chances may come along that could suddenly change everything. I just roll with it and don't waste my time thinking about stuff I don't have the perspective to comprehend. 

[EpicEnergy 22,072]

I've felt like I've failed in life plenty of times before.

[Venomous 18,813]

Yes and I feel that way right now.
