Feeling like a failure is something everyone goes through at least once in their life. It is a crossroads, I believe. Which direction you take will decided what you believe your life to be worth.
Ultimately, we all judge our own life's worth based on the lives of others. We look at other people who are successful, smart, rich, ect., and use it as a measuring stick to our own existence. Inevitably, someone will use your own life as their measuring stick. When that happens, your life is being evaluated by another person and they will decided on whether or not you are a failure. That is our outward self; the person judged by others. Although that view may influence us to a small degree, we are the ultimate masters of our own perception. We only ask the opinion of others when we ourselves have categorized our lives and are looking for outward confirmation of the internal conclusion.
If you doubt yourself and take the path of believing yourself to be someone insignificant then you have given up and you have already validated that you are what you believe yourself to be. By asking this question, you already have made your choice and are heading down that path. You can always turn back, but it's up to you if you want to do that. No one can validate your life but you.

I feel like a failure when I quit, and I have. So now my goal is not to quit on myself and others.
I think everyone at some point in their life doubts their
self, especially when things seem to be going the wrong way.
But If you live your life according to what others say or others do. What they think you should and shouln't be then yes it is possible to fail and feel as you have.
Then that just gets you into bigger troubles because then you get depressed and look for things to make you feel better or be better and it goes on from there
I think there is a defitnet purpose to all of us being here and it is so much bigger and better then us that we can't even begin to realize or understand without truly believing!
There are so many different opnions and beliefs, so much drama and differences. So many people trying to understnad what is going on. Some just close their eyes and don't want to try.
But to me the only way to survive is to believe, and to know there is defitnetly a reason and to live each day in every circumstance the best that you got and know at least you didn't give up because even if theres drama even if you are sick even if it's hard for you and it seems you can't take it.
You will never be a failure if you don't give up and you never stop believing!
I believe if their wasn't a reason for us being alive then we wouldn't be here.It would be really sad with all that happens in this world if there wasn't a reason for it. If there wasn't something better.
Apperciate life for what it is, and make the best out of the time you are here, Truly and sincerely try to understand and you will find a purpose.

I think if your life is full of drama, and you struggle with illness, but are still here to tell the tale - you are certainly not a failure - you ought to be proud of yourself for getting this far. keep struggling, and happiness will come around at some time. life is full of ups and downs, but don't let the downs prevent the ups!

I feel like there is no reason to sit around and philosophize about this all day. All I know is that I feel good when I work hard and accomplish things, which is why I need to get off of here (Yahoo Answers) and get some sh*t done!

In this situation, you either learn what your purpose is or you become addicted to something, either way life will have a direction, up or down, very rarely the same as it is now.

I feel like a failure, and according to all the jehova's witnesses and methodists, they tell me that I AM a failure because they are coming to my house telling me that I'm going to hell unless if I repented.
