Psychologists say that the essence of any failure is partly false expectations – a person did not achieve the desired goal.
For example, you set out to lose weight but were unable to reach a certain weight within the chosen time period.
But don't despair - it's better to think about what mistakes you made and move on.
Let's see what else psychologists say about this.
How to Stop Suffering from Failures
There are two main reasons why people suffer from failure: you decided to do something and you decided that you failed.
The key cause of suffering in this case is one's own thoughts regarding the goal. People tend to classify a mistake as a failure.
Psychologists recommend deleting the event from the affective niche, namely, understanding that the cause of disorders are concepts.
In other words, the negative effect of failure is simply an illusion created by the brain.
