Do you feel like you are a failure?

I was imagining reading this on a poster with a background of Uncle Sam saying "I Want You!"

and finding myself voting yes just made me depressed as well! thanks for the reminder!!!!

This describes me to a "T". If I had emotions, maybe I'd care.

Yes to some of the things you listed, but I couldn't help thinking of a drug commercial on television by reading your post...

I wanted to say yes, and probably would have said yes at the age of 18. But, to be honest, no. You find your way in the world. I've got a lot I could moan about but that, in itself, is good too. Life is about learning how to live life.

I think I can honestly say "No" to most of those things. The ones that I'd say "Yes" to, I think apply to almost everybody to some degree. I would never describe myself as a success though :/ So I'm either successful, deluded or naïve, and probably all three at once :\

Some of those pretty much describe me.

Some people who don't feel like a loser certainly should.

I hate being so insecure but I am. I guess it's just one of those things. However, seeing how many other people put "yes" made me think. You're not alone in your insecurities or your emotions.

I'm a failure and i dont feel like im worth anything , right now im trying to force my way through school to join the army.
That's probably the only place that would have any use of me until i get shot and die.

dont be insecure girl, own that ponytail, WORK THAT UP-DO!!!

No. I don't walow in self-loathing, self-pity, or regret. Regardless, I can hardly be a failure when I've only been considered an adult for a few years now.

yep thats me every of those describes hoe I feel.

Oh god, yes. This is me. D:
And I haven't even started really living yet. *face palm*

Ever since I started college I've felt like a failure -______________-

i voted YES too.. well unfortunately his not alone..me myself feel those freaking things and mi always feel that no one likes me and that everybody hates me..even about crushes , i always said to myself that he'll never like a girl like me..and embarrassing moments also haunts me..ane I often feel that im useless and shouldn't have been born..

maybe this comment might wont help you nor do anything to you..but im just telling you that you are not alone..im here, same as you..but now ive been trying my best to fit in and always think positive. THANK GOD he's really helping me..hope you'll learn to change you're outlooks in life as well as me..

Wow! ALOT of people voted yes, jeeez i though i lacked self confidence.

Seems like 2/3rds of the internet is borderline suicidal failures..

stop dwelling in self pity, get over yourself, try again...

the more you feel like this, the more of nowhere you are going to go. it's not only all in your head, but it is ultimately your fault for getting to this point.

you're all failures

I am 28 and ahead of where I thought I would be at this point in my life. There are of course some things I would do differntly if I could, but that applies to anyone. Focus on improving the future because you can't change the past.

Nah. I feel like I am currently a failure, but at some point will flourish into a successful human being.

Fingers crossed.

I voted yes.
I can say yes to all the OP's questions except the one about having nothing to be proud of.
I have a few things I'm proud of, but only a little bit. And I question their validity constantly.
I guess I should be happy that I'm not alone in feeling this way, but I'm not. It never feels like anyone really ever feels my pain like I do. It seems like bad things affect me more than everyone else around me. It seems like everyone somehow knows how to handle life's challenges better than I do.
My life is taking a left turn right now and pretty much most if not all my plans didn't work out.

Sorry to be so depressing, but I can't pretend to be happy anymore like I did when I was younger.

Sometimes.

I sometimes would just remember an embarrassing incident, or something I regret from a long time ago, and would just feel so bad for about 10 seconds... but it occurs over and over..

I just decided to say fuck it.. ppl forget when you have be wronged them, why can't I???

I discovered that self-forgiveness is much more important than forgiveness from others. It's too bad we weren't taught that when we were young, we were taught to seek forgiveness from others when we have done something against them. (which is important,) but what I see more important is self-forgiveness.... You'll live with yourself, you should know how to forgive yourself, and realize that some things aren't as bad as you make them feel..

I am sometimes too self-critical, which sucks, but at this juncture of my life, I began to literally say "FUCK IT,"

let me give you an example, last week, I got way too drunk, and I offended someone. The next day, I called them up, and apologized.. when they accepted my apology.. It was case closed for me.. Before I apologized, I thought how can I work toward not repeating it again. I took a stance, and apologized to that person. I won't give anyone the space to criticize me for that mistake, not even myself because frankly, the person accepted my apology.
Too long I know.. FUCK IT ;p

"Are hated and looked down upon by everyone around you, and it's your own fault?"

Yes, but it's their fault.
