I think that failure hurts the most when we are very young and as yet, untested by experience. Think of the child putting on a tantrum because he doesn't get his lolly pop.
He still has to learn so much, but his grief is poignant to behold; despite his efforts, he has not succeeded and because he lives in the immediate "now", then his whole world has collapsed.
On second thoughts, perhaps the anguish is greater if that same child reaches adulthood with the same expectations but without having learned from previous failures.

I don't know when failure hurts the most, but will say that it hurts the least when it teaches you a lesson. We learn (and grow) the most when we lose - not when we win.

When you give some one the benefit of the doubt and you find out that you were wrong in doing so. It's like failing yourself.

when you tell everyone you will not fail and build yourself up and make sure everyone knows you will when because when you fail you embarrass yourself as well as getting that feeling or failure and sometimes they will tease you

When you are 40 or over, and it is important to you.

It doesn't hurt you, it helps you by knowing your mistakes and learning from them.

When you fail to talk the maniac out of "just dropping the gun."

definately when its something very important in which you've been very persistant about. when you keep trying and trying until you just wish that flanders was dead.
