Am I “stupid” or something. No, I know I’m NOT stupid. I don’t understand the concept of “being a failure”

I don’t think there is such a thing...

Although probably many of us have had at least one sub optimal other at some point in our lives who was committed to attempting to make us feel like a “failure” (or worse )... Why?

We are not stupid or failures, wise bear.

The reason some people attempt to be negative about others is down to their ego being sensitive and trying to make themselves feel better than others. Maybe we should offer sympathy for their lack of understanding.

Most posters here are far more wise as we have experience of how it feels to be rejected.

Fuzzy your posts show you are thoughtful and kind hearted.

I’ve never been on board with the idea of failure. It’s a word I actually don’t really use. I see things more as experiences. You just keep trying things until you find what works for you and what makes you happy.

You're right, to become a master at anything, you will makes errors while learning and perfecting a skill.

Because it makes them feel better about themselves when they see someone else fail or who they deem is more of an overall failure. Those people need to be chewed on.

If once you don't succeed, try, try again...whoever said that, I dunno, but they are right.
