Negative Failure Changes Your Personality

Science has proven that your personality and perceptions change depending on many factors such as your age stages, phases of life, experiences, and social interactions. In that sense, failure would be categorised as one of the life experiences people for the most part would experience.

With that being said, failure is not only something you go through in life but something your personality experiences and goes through as well. Once someone fails, they begin doubting themselves and believing whatever misconceptions they have towards themselves. So, what would that end up doing to your personality? Anything can shape your personality from situations to people and more specifically unpleasant situations like life changing ones. Negative encounters tend to shape your personality more than positive ones because hurt and disappointment are such powerful feelings that are hard to move past. Therefore, a person who is carrying failure on his or her shoulders is not the same person he or she was before that experience.

When everyone you know is succeeding and you’re failing, it will create feelings of jealousy and enviousness no matter how happy you are for them. If you allow failure to shape your personality, you’re allowing yourself to be someone else. This will allow your personality to release its worst version and prevent its full potential of becoming the best. Contrarily, protecting yourself from failure’s negative impact will protect your personality from growing backwards. However, failure could shape your personality positively by making it stronger and giving you ‘thick skin’ as many say. So, failure is only negative when you give it the green light to impact you; negative failures create envious, hateful, jealous, ungrateful, unhappy, and unpassionate personalities. Why allow a normal part of life like failure impact our whole lives and personalities when we can adjust to it and allow its positive affect! Opportunities come and go; nothing is worth destroying our personalities for.
