Everyone strikes out; some more often than others. Not attempting to swing has caused me more depression than almost anything else. "I'm no good;" I'm a loser;" "they're right." The worst part about failure isn't the people who put me down, but me! I buy into it, and start carrying it around in my head. I keep trying, but I'm my own worst enemy. This is the cage that I'm talking about.
