I Feel Like a Failure In Life?
Your local community college will probably offer a GED class to help you get that taken care of. Once you have your GED, look at one year technical programs offered by the community college. That will get you started in a better job than where you are now. After you get your new job, you can make the decision of continuing your education to get a two or four year degree. It's difficult to succeed in special ed classes. However, learning disability does not mean stupid or incapable or learning. Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb and 1,000 other patents, was kicked out of school at age 12 because he was considered stupid. He once said that his father thought he was probably mentally retarded. Other people with learning disabilities include Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of the telephone), Albert Einstein (creator of the theory of relativity), and Winston Churchill (leader of England to victory during World War II). You'll have to work twice as hard as the other students, but you can do this if you want. Good luck to you.
I feel like a failure?
Hey! If there is one thing I can tell you, is at least you still have the drive to want to do something. That is one big advantage that you have over others that struggle with depression/social anxiety. I want to tell you something. You are never too old to go to school. Something that has always helped me get more motivated and stop being a failure, is working out. I know it sounds ridiculous when you want your whole life to start and that running around or doing pushups is just stupid, but its not. I can guarantee one thing: you will become increasingly more motivated and INCREDIBLY happier if you exercise. At first, it will feel like hell. But working out releases endorphins, and endorphins are happiness. As you become more motivated, start by looking for a job. Make some money! Set a small goal every day. For example: Today I am going to workout for 1 hour. I will also start a resume (You can totally do a resume even without much experience in anything else). Tomorrow: I will work out for an hour, and then do a job search in my area. Set out little goals, and as you accomplish them, you will feel less like a failure and more like you are doing things! If you ever want to talk, feel free to message me back for more tips! Just apply yourself! This might sound harsh, but you are at the prime of your life. Take advantage! If you don't do anything now, do you really think anything will change in 1 or 20 years? Do you want to live on your parents couch when you are 25? Of course not. You can't say those things will happen eventually. You have to do those things now.
I feel like a failure at life?
Yes it can happen. I felt old when I turned 20 but the reality is that you are just a big teenager at that age. 21 Is not old to start university. People that know exactly what they want to do as soon as they are out of high school are the abnormal ones to me. Enjoy your life as a young adult. Your not 32 and quit worrying about marriage. 32 is NOT too old to get married. People hopefully get married when they find the right person... Some people panick and rush to get marryed because they feel as if they should be married because they turned a certain age. They usualy get married to the wrong person and you don't want to be like them.
Whenever I have a bad exam I feel like a failure and that I am not going to succeed in life, how do I overcome this?
I used to feel this way too. I won't go into details, but let's just say it got extremely bad at one point and I regret a lot from that time period.I walked in as a freshman in high school, having never failed a test, into my geometry class. Little did I know that I would get ~5 As on tests all year. I also failed my final, which determined whether I got an A or not. Needless to say, after the first nine weeks, I broke.But I broke, and came back stronger than I was before. Failure can be a good thing. I wasn't used to failing, and my geometry class taught me how to bounce back when I fall. It was a miserable year in that class, but it helped me learn how to fail, an invaluable skill that can only be learned through experience.Also, I graduated my freshman year with a 4.4 weighted GPA. The maximum was a 4.5. In the grand scheme of the things, a few failed tests don't matter.So how do you overcome this feeling?Fail. A lot. There's no way around it, it'll have to happen at some point. You're going to break and it will feel like the world is collapsing around you, but just hang in there and you'll come back stronger.It really isn't the end of the world. Even most Harvard students don't have a perfect GPA, so if you mess up in a few classes, you'll still be fine. And on an even smaller scale, if you mess up on a test/exam, it’ll be okay.Grades don't matter, degrees do. If you're in college, just pass the class and you'll be fine. I promise you your future career options won't be limited because of your GPA. As long as you're learning the information so you can perform well in the “real world”, that's all that matters.Get help. Knowing you gave it your all and tapped into every resource you could find makes a huge difference in how you feel about (that) failure. And hey, maybe you won't fail with the extra help :)
I feel like a complete failure in life.?
My name is Dakota, I am 18 years old. I have not been to school since I was in the 6th grade, I have worked plenty of jobs, and have been working since I was 15. Recently, I have been working at UPS. I absolutely hate everything about it, it is beyond depressing, it is brutal work. I ******* hate it, I honestly have no idea why I am even writing this, desperate maybe? I just quit the job, and now I feel even worse than I did before. Ways of ending my life is always the lay of my thoughts, and I cannot escape it. And before someone tells me that it is a cowards escape, go **** yourself. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, and I know that my time left here is short.
17, already feel like a failure in life, what to do about it?
Don't worry. Your life is not meaningless. You're writing screenplays and movie plots! That right there is amazing! Even when you don't work on them, it's still pretty great that you have this hobby that you're working on. If you'd like you could try to start a new hobby too. That way, even though you're not working or in school, you can still gain more skills. There's dozens of hobbies too that you can choose from such as learning a new language, researching your favorite subjects online, and a lot more. You're only 17 years old, so you have a really bright future ahead of you, especially since you're still young. Even though you say you don't have a social life, you can make friends online too. There's so many friend websites you could check out too.
