[QUOTE=anothercliché;4035886]I appreciate the time and effort all of you have put into reading, thinking about, and responding to my inquiry, however I may disagree with your consensus. From what I've read depression robs you of drive because it makes you question the point of doing things. I see the point in why people as a whole would choose to do certain things. My problem is that what I do is of inferior quality to what other people do, so I don't want to add yet another failure to the mountain thus I have difficulty doing anything active as opposed to passive. All I do is fail. All I ever do is fail. When I try I fail. When I don't try I fail. I can't have fun not because I fail to see the point but because I fail full stop.[/QUOTE

If you give up without trying, how do you hope to overcome this? You don't have to be perfect at everything you do. And everybody fails at things. Success usually includes a number of failures along the way. Maybe try looking at things in a new light. Instead of worrying about if you are going to fail and letting that dictate whether or not you do something, just focus on enjoying the process of what you are doing. And if you have trouble enjoying the process at first, keep trying. Being happy takes practice and focus.
