The Comfort of Shared Failure: Coping with Exam Results
Seeing others also fail can provide a sense of comfort and a feeling that you're not alone in the struggles. This can be helpful in reducing feelings of anxiety and sadness. It can also help to put things in perspective and remind you that failure is a normal part of life and that everyone experiences it at some point. However, it's important to recognise that while it may provide temporary relief, it's not a healthy or productive way to cope with failure. Instead, it's better to focus on learning from your mistakes and finding ways to improve in the future.
