Has anyone here thought they would be a success and turned into a failure?

I actually was successful for a bit, but a failure after all.

success, failure, it doesn't matter, nothing does, don't let it pull you down, it's all meaningless.

Absolutely. I get the impression lots of folks here can relate to my experience of being a "gifted" kid in elementary school—did well in class, excellent on tests, constantly praised for being deep and intelligent and empathetic.

Smash cut to 30 years later, I'm miserable, barely able to function at my soul-crushing part-time job, no insurance, no retirement, no paid holidays, no prospects of anything better, more student debt than I'll ever be able to pay off... Things ain't going well haha

Yeah that's true but suffering is real. At least while we're here if you fail financially and can't meet your needs, you suffer greatly.
