If your mind keeps telling you, “I’m a failure,” know that it’s possible to ease these thoughts and move toward positive self-talk. Everyone has times when things don’t go according to plan, whether it’s relationship tension or not getting a promotion. When you fall short of achieving a goal it’s easy to feel let down.
Comparing yourself to others or having low self-esteem can also drive feelings of failure to an extreme. You may start to think you’ve never really succeeded and aren’t good at anything. Your inner voice might be saying you’ve failed at life in general. Thinking that you’ve failed feels bad, so many people try to avoid it at all costs.
