I'm sure every one of us has our ups and our downs, however always seem to remember/think more about the negatives. We are such strange beings... with sometimes a really negative mind-set, which is quite saddening because we have so much in our lives we can do and too many of up spend it over sadness. I've just been through exam time and am still going through multiple big assessments so I'm quite familiar with the feeling.
I don't know if I have a psychological problem but, I'm so annoyingly sentimental. I get bummed over things I don't care about simply because I feel like I failed and being an Asian at an academic/competitive school with 99% of it being Asian, failure isn't even meant to be in my vocabulary.
The mind set in our school is horrible because we all want to succeed and everyone just starts to talk any one who "fails" (i.e. does really great but at as good as the person) down. Honestly, I hate it at our school because I've forgotten what it's like not to worry so much over such tiny things and actually have fun for a day. We were selecting subjects for next year and when I told this girl that I wasn't taking Physics, she laughed at me and said I'm never going to be a doctor (in the most serious Asian way ever). Sometimes my school just makes me feel like I do nothing right so for anyone out there feeling the same, here are some ways to deal with failure [how hypocritical of me as I don't actually remember half of these]:
