How do you cope with failure?
Question:
There are a couple issues I am having with this whole situation. First of all, I am a transfer student, and I was hoping that my first test at this new school would end on a more positive note. I feel like this was my chance to prove that I belong here and that perhaps I can exceed people's expectations of me. Second of all, I am a psychology major, which makes the whole "expectations" schpeel a little more prominent.
I feel like despite almost 14 years of schooling, the way I have dealt with failure (in the academic realm primarily) has never changed - I always let it linger and manifest until it eats me up inside which makes it incredibly difficult to focus on anything else. I feel like these are ... well, feelings that I can't let go right away, and it's painful to deal with.
Answers:
Failure is always a blow to the ego. At the same time, failure builds character.
Did you ever try to approach your professors and explain to them your situation (transferee)? Perhaps you can undertake extra projects to help pull your grade.
MoonlightSea, you know your behavior. The solution is up to you- dwell in it or do something about it.
