Let us bitterly contemplate our failures

#1

So ladies, time to confess your failures. Your moments of shame. Times of bitter remorse and intolerable regret.

This is not the happy thread or angry thread. This is the sad and/or depressing thread.

I’ll start!

I am a college student. However, I am a bad college student. I have, so far, failed an english class that is, for myself, easy as cake, 3 times now. I have failed other courses as well, and have vowed to retake them.

Why? My brain. It wants what it wants, and I have very little control over it. Sometimes it wants to be awesome and help me write fucking fantastic shit, other times it says ‘no’, and there is nothing I can do about it. No I dont want to do an assignment, no I don’t want to do what ya tell me. Its very annoying, especially when I can’t actually be angry about it because most of the time the awesome shit I am capable of comes from this off balance noggin of mine.

If I don’t get over a certain grade point average, I wont get into university, and I wont become a teacher. In short, I will fail.

I am also a virgin. I am not fat (or thin, for that matter), and I am not ugly. I am simply unlucky. I have failed to both have sex with a woman AND have a woman stay with me in a relationship for longer than 2 months. This is bad, especially when I strongly desire a family and kids.

um

i hate to use ‘cool story bro’ because it’s so overused now, but honestly… that’s all that comes to mind.

I cry myself to sleep.

I’m horribly depressed at times because I feel often isolated and alone; yet I’m the one comforting people more often than not. I’ve been told I almost always tend to give others sound advice yet I can’t figure out what to tell myself, nor do I often practice what I preach in my own head.

I’m a lazy student. I get stuff done when it has to be, but I don’t like doing busy work and I get in trouble for it.

I’m also prone to the personality flaw of being quite arrogant. It only really shows sometimes, but I tend to come off as an asshole when it does. People just kinda of accept it, they like the better parts of me rather than that; though if something is going to bother them, that’s going to be it. The side effect of that is I’m often prone to a decent level of self-confidence.

I’m quite defensive when people veer close to personal attacks, I often seem to stand up for myself too much for my own good, and I don’t let people the chance to walk over me at all.

I also have horrific eating habits and I’m prone to often saying the wrong thing in social situations often when I’m not thinking.

I also talk way too much once someone gets me going on something.

I probably shouldn’t drink as much as I tend to, either. It’s not the frequency but the amount.

“Cool story bro” is not allowed.

If nothing comes to mind but “cool story bro”, it is best that you refrain from posting in the thread all about cool stories comprised primarily of fail.

An alternative is to post a fail story about a friend instead of yourself, if you happen to view your own life and or person in such a high regard.

#6

well I am surprised this thread was taken seriously, hence my cool story bro.

I guess I can take it seriously: I have no faith in the people around me, as I am let down by ‘friends’ far more often than I am rewarded. I garner 0 respect from anyone around me because i give the outward appearance of being a pushover, but i secretly rage inside all the time at other people.

I’m failing college because of a lot of really unfortunate circumstances (mostly a broken hand and getting mono within the same few weeks), but I’m not even that bothered by it because I don’t think I have a future. Sure, I’m fairly talented at level design… for a game that’s 5 years old. I can’t hold a candle to the talented folks at BM.

It’s really quite unhealthy. I also sleep all the fucking time, even though I’m supposed to work.

happy?

^And definetly this

Feelin your pain, bro.

Yes applause.

What about people makes you the most angry? Usually for most its something like “people are idiots”, “people are greedy”, “people are sheep”.

In your case its sounds like “People are unreliable”.

Personally I never get angry at people because I acknowledge thier humanity. eg. People are flawed, they are not robots, you suck as much as they do, just in different ways! :smiley:

My lack of an anger complex is actually another flaw though, as it leads me to react strangely in situations where others get super pissed, such as being coerced into fighting or being called undignified names and such.

#9

I often drag on and on about insignificant things that don’t matter anyway, just because I’m bored and like to piss people off so they give me a bit of a fun time while I’m bored (O’HAI ATHEISTS AND MUSLIM!)

I know, I’m a bad person, I just lack the care :<

#10

Yes. Unreliability. Being flaky. Or in general, people shitting down my neck and expecting me to take it. It happens so often that sooner or later someone’s gonna get a ‘pow right in the kisser’. And I have a very good idea of who it might be.

But that’s more something that belongs in the rage thread.

We’ve pretty much got a thread for every major emotion on these forums, don’t we?

#11

Well, I have no faith in humans either, but I see that as an advantage, since I’ll never be disappointed that way in them either.

#13

I posted in this thread without a hint of irony.

EDIT: Oh wait, no I didn’t, that’s all of you

#14

I’ve been working on a mod for two years and I haven’t finished it.

Major irony, considering the forum we’re in.

I regret about 50% of my life actually, because I’ve made some pretty dumb decisions, and yet none of them were related to drugs, sex, or violence. I guess in that regard I’m lucky.

#15

I can’t seem to kill myself properly. Everytime I try, I mess up. It’s not that i’m emo or something. I just don’t have any desire to live anymore. The last time I had sex on a girl I acidentally slipped into her butty and then she left me because I wouldn’t stop.

#16

How can you accidently slip into her butty?

That thing is daaaaamn tight, bro. Usually you can`t accidently slip in there, only if she has already been stretched open before.

Oh… I might have given an unwanted hint there… shutting up

#17

Wow there are some really sad people here. The closest thing I can think of a failure is that I’ve become a little lazy with school. In the first 3 years of high school ( or whatever you Americans call it ) I was always a very good student who always did his homework on time and studied properly for tests. But now I am in the fourth year and I don’t know whats wrong with me. I am too lazy to do my homework and when I try I lose concentration easily. Because of this my grades are also lower than usual but not that bad though. I hope I get over this ‘thing’ soon or else my future is pretty fucked.

#18

You’re Dutch, that’s more fail than anything mentioned in this thread so far.

#19

Well uh
I guess we broke up with my ex prematurely

#20

We?
