I appreciate everyone sharing his experience with us, no judging, baiting or jokes around here.

betting for sure P.S. I don't know how to avoid it , it is really hard to stop betting especially when u ve already lost a lot of money

I don't even try anymore so there's no chance of failure

I once lost my brother's phone.

wasted years going to uni

Biggest failure was not being interesting to people/gf or potential gf. I'm trying to do something like reading more, find topics that i find interesting and get more into it, make more experience possible in life. My mind changed a bit but i'm confident enought on my way of thinking

- What is/are your biggest life failure(s) : on the personal level, academic level, professional level … Losing a person bc of my own actions. Not trying enough, being emotionally closed (i've had my own reasons to act like that, i did that with the best of intentions possible but who cares anyway) - Did you manage to surpass it/them No, i don't - If so, how? What was your mindset? What have you changed? How did you work on yourself on that given situation? I accept my fate, nothing could change the way it goes rn. I work on myself but it doesn't help much. Nothing would help actually, it's just the new reality of my life with no happiness, no joy and no feelings left.

Second year of buisness (2021) lost around 25k on some bullshit shit with some bullshit company.

1 - my biggest life failure that i still grief for is losing my previous cat by dumb accident, it could have been prevented easily, but things happen 2 - i guess? i just dont want to let go of it, i lost my grandma, grandpa and older brother but if i had the ability to ressurect 1 creature it would be that kitty, dont get me wrong, im not some misanthropic psycho with hatred towards people, no, and ofc i love my relatives, its hard to explain especially on english, just think about what a fuss it would be if i had a choice and turned towards some human: some things are in the past already and im not sure that i want to return to it meanwhile cat is just a cat hehe, petting, giving food, and a bit of cleaning 3 - my current cat is 2 years already, im very cautious and sometimes i buy food for homeless cats :)

1 - None, me and my decisions are always perfect. Biggest mistake was probably signing up for hltv.org.

right when I started Uni, my ex-teammate LEGIJA asked me to go to a local cs1.6 lan-tournament. I declined, because it was going to be in the middle of semester and I was pretty motivated to study. Also e-sports was nowhere near where it is now. In the end I changed my studies anyway and I believe that mix-team won that lan and later played under mousesports. Also I struggled heavily in uni for many years, but I managed to get a job in IT without a degree. So basically I had the chance to be a pro and said 'no' xd

I beat most of my potansiel failures but ı am sure there will be.

Making an account on HLTV

biggest failure : thinking failure was a bad thing. now I never fail, i win or learn

Not really any huge failures but I'd say not spending time and energy on staying healthy wasn't a great decision. Now I go to the gym often, drink way less alcohol (used to drink at least a bottle of wine each weekend, now it's maybe 1 beer). Rarely smoke weed anymore which used to be daily. I feel a lot better this way.

academic insincerity . took the L and started working hard

Playing league of legends. Got into it from Season1 release (13 years ago now), played casually when I got home, never tried to get good - I was bronze/silver for a few years, peaked in gold then gave up on the game a few years ago. Got to the point where I would play into the late hours of the night, go to school like a zombie, come back and repeat. Got over it eventually by other commitments meaning I couldn't play as much then quit the game. But in the end replaced it with CSGO and sometimes comeback to play with friends. Easier to quit now with so much corporate bullshit making champs op on release and the general player mentality crying over counter picks and such, now older me doesn't care for such bs. Tips for others? 1. realise what you're doing is bad. 2. you yourself have to be of the mindset that this is bad and needs to change. 3. find something else to occupy your time 4. rinse and repeat - most people end up relapsing to most things, realise this and keep moving forward

Not sure if thats life failure (probably not) but I had car crash that destroyed my dreams of pro sportsman. I had contract ready and everything. Ended up with dreams destroyed, depression and all kinds of thoughts. I didn't do anything for 2-3 years, just staying at home, playing CS, gained 20 kg of fat, lost like 5k euro on betting, then I won like 20k + 10k in skins. Withdrawed everything. Invested all in crypto and then I met my childhood crush. She was insulting me for 10 minutes that I am stupid etc. Next morning I woke up and decided thats enough, started slowly with homemade workout, then gym, then I found shitty job, then the next one, next one. I was working for 14h/day 6days/week to get enough money to start something my own cuz I was pissed that some moron is telling me what to do. Right now Im my own boss, traveled the world, I dont have to worry about money, but still I think about football every single day.

joel is a life failure ESIC is a life failure

my failure is being born in the first place, since that everything went downhill

when my mom gave birth to me

Honestly i don't feel i have had a failure one thing i will share is that i got a girlfriend in my 15-16's and for some reason i thought she was going to be the one. We all end up there sometime... What I can say about it is that i do regret it. It was a waste of time she dumped me for other random dude. I just feel sad because at that time i could've had sex with many different women older and my age and didn't because i was faithfull to my ex. the good part in this history is that i survived the constant temptation and remained faithful xD always be true to youselves and be faithful. if you wanna fuc* around and ur in a relationship just cut it off. be true to your partner. NGL everything would be smoother if everyone were true to their partner and themselves about their relationships... good day lads! wear condoms

I just stopped going to school because I didn't like it. Don't really care anyways, I was never in a position to pursue post-secondary education, and anything that "requires" general education doesn't ACTUALLY require it, as in it isn't background checked or cross-referenced, it's something of a cosmetic "requirement" that everyone functionally fulfills by being able to think, and speak, and spell. As far as floundering beneath or surpassing the limitations I put on myself: who knows? I own my condo, which isn't exactly magnificent as an achievement, but it still puts me ahead of a number of people who were either older than me, or my peers, and I'm behind some others; but ultimately I feel like I've done an effective job working with what I had.

In the 2018 summer I played in an amateur csgo league in spain, ended up finishing second but because my team8 messed up big times. We got an offer from an org to go live in a gaming house and have "professional" contracts, so I had to choose between going to the degree or leaving everything. I choose to end the degree. I didn't surpass it 100%, as I was the best player in the team, I was top-fragging consistently and even winning against low tier proteams. Furthermore, I think I could have become a pro as my mechanical skill is very good. One of the players I was destroying in that time now is playing pro, and one of them is playing pro in valorant, and back then I was much better than them. So I will always have that regret of what I could have been with 100% focus on csgo. Right now im in a good spot tho, I have a very good paying job and still play csgo, and still lvl10 that with my playing time is kind of hard to maintain. So I guess I just regret it out of pity.

Classic story of a "genius child". School ez, uni hard af, fell off, got depressed. Slowly getting myself back on feet thanks to my parents and prof.

my probably biggest failure is never pushing my hobbys enough, it is always "yeah i am gonna practice more tomorrow" and then the project is just left for what - months? years? in the dust lol

once I used to appreciate americans, the biggest secret I'm ashamed of.

Biggest failures, cheating on my girlfriend many years ago. We fixed it, even got married some years later, but I still am really not proud of that shit.. Tried k*lling myself a couple times. Not proud of that either. Mostly because of what it does to my family, especially my mom. In regards to jobs, I've done okay, so not many regrets on that front.

i never go to dentist and dont plan on changing that

Borning

My biggest life failure is not buying 3 bitcoins in 2016. The reason I was not able to was because my dad simply said no you cant

not realizing the power of compound interest soon enough.

Lost about $180,000 in crypto. Turned $1,000 into $200,000 but only took $20,000 in profit to pay family debts. Because of this I started to get an actual job. Grinded for a year and now I work for two companies remotely and making double digits while also being a freshgraduate student. The key for me is to not look back and dwell on the "what ifs". Instead just learning from my mistakes and focusing on what I can do to improve

Drug addiction I guess I spend a fukton of money on dat shi fr , ion wanna overcome it tho I hate bein sober

losing all the money at slots sience small... in romania around the schools are like 5 big cazinous with slots to "win"

Being born

Putting too much trust and love in one person who turned out to be two faced piece of shit, while neglecting my own happiness and passions.

Academic: Gave Cat exam last year, unable to get the desired college for masters trying again this year hope so make it. This whole exam has seriously affected my mental health because I need to clear the exam to get a good life here in India. Personal; Cried over a stupid ex for way too long who did not deserve me and was toxic as hell. Now I know better. Have grown as a person a lot over the last year.

Making a daughter with a girl i deep down knew wasnt going to work which it didnt so i cheated on her (which i dont regret but thats another story) But then again i love my kid so i wouldnt count it as a failure .

a person gave me ultimatum to choose between her or something else and i didnt choose her i regret it now

Idk probably wasting so much time and not trying enough, and also not just going for it in terms of talking to people. Not really failures though just gotta get better im still young and theyre not exactly my fault

MY CS GO CAREER

I always wanted to be a doctor but i failed uni entrance exams because of depression

Skipped chances to attend at top 10 university and now stuck at one I hate I can't really change much about it currently, at most I can still transfer but it would be pretty low chances.

not feeling/looking like a gladiator yet, doing drugs as a kid

1. fell in love to girl from my class. nothing really bad but i was so fucked up these days, i literally got attached to her, i was acting like a fucking trash (i acted like a wimp, tried to be too polite, wasn't sincere, i was texting her so much because i literally thought she felt something towards me) i was some kind of addicted from her at some point she just stopped texting me back, i wasn't depressed but sad af 2. i did 3. i just thought "fuck it, i dont need a gf at such young age + she's not that good + i have bigger problems that lack of pussy in my life". it could be a beautiful story if i went to gym and become gigachad but no lol, i didnt really change anything cz im too lazy but i realise many things about me both good and bad looking bad i see that i was so fucking annoying, i'm glad that this shit ended, this girl could easily manipulate me but thanks god she didn't

got scammed 7000€ this year the failure was on my side. it was like i was in a tunnelvision for some products i wanted so badly that i didnt see the obv. scam. although i am a 90s kid, grew up with internet when it was new and never thought this could happen to me. on top i sold a part of the products (i never saw) to someone else with profit and had to pay him back after i lost all the money. mindset now: if it's 1% fishy i will doublecheck and let someone else check too to be safe in the future.

rejected a girl

1. Pretty much the only regret I have is how I treated some people (few girls) when I was 13 which meant I lost all my best friends at the time. Honestly just took them too much for granted. 2. Yeah it doesn't really bother me anymore, but sometimes I do wonder how my life would have socially turned out if I still had contact to them. 3. First I was really depressed and hated how stupid I was, but nowadays I understand I was just a kid who didn't know better. I learned to not take friends (or any people) for granted.

I never had any chances from the start anyways

this thread is proof you are a dentist considering you are making random talk with people, I find it funny. I'll answer My biggest life failure is definitely not getting the help or researching the help I needed, I still have yet to get diagnosed but I'm sure I have very bad ADHD or minor autism and it is very hard for me to apply myself and focus even though I learn skills very quickly. I haven't managed to surpass it yet since I have not been diagnosed, I had an appointment to get evaluated but they cancelled it when I arrived (took 8 months to have an opening) and now I'm dismayed and don't know what to do next. I want to change and be medicated or at least know what is wrong, hoping it happens soon and I need to push myself to make an appointment again.

Not studying Japanese when I was a kid so I could be able to talk to my relatives. My Japanese has improved a lot by Passively listening and having the games I play on be in Japanese.

being born

Basically every aspect of my life🤔 Now that I think about it. I have a lot of money but I am very poor if that makes sense^^

I'm older than a lot of you on HLTV so hopefully you pay attention and use this for your advantage. - What is/are your biggest life failure(s) : on the personal level, academic level, professional level … Personal: I would say dating. At one point, all of you know this, you want the most appealing relationship rather than growing into one. Try different partners. Treat each one with respect (this was never an issue, but moreso in a respect level of giving relationships a shot instead of thinking 'this is what I'm getting locked into.) Relationships are meant to compliment each other, not show off. And owning a house. I think we just fell into a time where it is absolutely unaffordable unless you had a previous property/asset to sell off for capital to purchase the new property. Academic: None. I would do it all over again, but I would throw myself out there even further. You meet all sorts of individuals in post-secondary level. Just try, because your marks getting into a post-secondary environment will expand your relationships by people you meet (listen here... you all had to at least have some level of attention in high school to get into the place you are attending, so the people around you are smart, they might just not be applying it in the correct way. ) and this will lead to jobs and opportunities you couldn't imagine (To this day, I have some of your favourite artists, musicians, rappers, singers, DJs shaking hands and having drinks with me because I worked in the same office as a booking agency and did a little freelance work with them, all because I worked hard in school and got into an office that paid me a full-time salary due to the subjects I followed through in post-secondary (university) education. If it doesn't work out for you in school, this shows even simple relationships will benefit you in the long run. Don't burn your bridges. Professional level: Professional level regret would be just taking the first opportunity that was given to me. It doesn't pay as much to support a lifestyle I would like, but I do get to have interesting things happen around me, which I should take a little more gratitude for. I only was in this situation because family needed money and I just did it to help out which turned into a long-term situation. You won't get any gratitude for it, but you know you did the right thing. If I had the opportunity to do it differently, I would take whichever paid me most. I could keep professional and private life separate. - Did you manage to surpass it/them Personal: Whenever the opportunity is right, you know what your dating pool is. This isn't a race. Go have fun. So, yes. If it's not happening now, you can get there. Academic: Done school, yes. If I needed to go back, I absolutely have no problem with that. I know it's possible to work at the same time to pay off bills as you expand your education to get an increased salary. Professional: Academic would lead to professional. You can see the goal. Very easy to surpass the issue. - If so, how? What was your mindset? What have you changed? How did you work on yourself on that given situation? You have a person around you unalive themself? You know what it does to you and the people around you, and their family. I would 100% never put anyone through that so I know that would not be an option. I just know that things can change in an instant. An opportunity may pop up. A potential significant other can cross paths with you. You can only change things you can control. If you are in an environment that doesn't benefit you, that you don't need to be in, why not check out other places? There's always a number that people think in their heads that they can retire off of. If you look further, there's also a number where those same people will take a chance on themselves. That latter number, is a lot more attainable than people think. Start from there.

Two biggest mistakes of my life was becoming a realtor for 4 years because my mom wanted me to. the second biggest mistake was quitting a job after only one week and not giving a two weeks notice.

biggest L for me is that i got my driver license at 28 failed 3 times before that and stopped taking lessons, probably spend around 4/5k for the license. Also had to take theory three times cause first 2 expired. Since i got my own car it made my life so much better, dont have to rely on people for transport. can take trips everywhere in my country. i missed a lot because i was a lazy/scared about driving.

My biggest failure is that I never pushed myself. I always turned down opportunities, strictly out of fear of failure and rejection. This applies to my personal life, but also school and hobbies. There are many things that I've been good at, but simply never bothered pursuing further. Now that I'm getting older, I feel crestfallen and bitter over all the opportunities that have passed me by.

I guess my biggest failure was taking 5 years to graduate college. Something that has really helped me is changing my mindset about how I compare myself to others. If you're in a class/sport/workplace/whatever, and someone is better than you at something, stop thinking "wow they're so much better than me, Im so shit". Those kinds of thoughts are not good for your mind and improvement. Instead of thinking that, try to pinpoint why you think what they did is better than what you did. What kind of technique did they do? and how can you implement something like that into your next project/game/whatever? Dont try to COPY them, try to LEARN from them. Also remember that no 2 people have the exact same amount of experience. Maybe you've been learning X language for 2 years, but your classmate speaks so much better than you. Why is that? Are they just smart and you're stupid? No. Everyone has different experiences and expertise. Maybe they have grandparents that speak X language, or maybe they're super involved with X language outside of class, or maybe its very similar to a language they already know. Yeah, you might be in the same level class, but its not exactly fair to compare you 2 when they have so much more exposure and experience. Just some things to keep in mind.

overestimating myself and not living up to my own expectations, my friends are all better off than me and I feel envy somewhere deep down Like in the verse: "If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim bluh bluh bluh" -- I can't seem to get out of a vicious circle of thinking, can't get myself to do some action nothing specific tho

I was born and my life was over.

Went to europe to study... ididnt spend time with my little sister growing up

Self sabotage, too confident so not tried enough, putting so much effort in useless things or never developing my real talents, deppression gradually growing without taking notice...
