Why Do People Lose Their Confidence After Facing Defeat??

Maybe these people expect a lot from themselves. I did that before, like expect so many things and expect things in my life but I dont do that now cause its not doing me any good. I think people should not expect and that they just need to hope for the best.

You're right. I particularly like what they say in neuro linguistic programming. "There are no failures, only feedbacks." :)

I think the dictum once bitten twice shy applies there too. I think one begins to lose trust in himself once he faces a defeat. Rebuilding trust takes some time and one regains it only after a series of success.

Welcome to mylot Deepak Yes many people feel defeated and lose self confidence, but they should not, failure is also step to sucess, we must think positive always and try to remain happy, contented.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I think friend some times whenever a person didn't face such type of situation and once he lost or defeat then it hurts him alot and he will loose confident that is common for human beings. But after that if person over come all the things if he tries again with full of confident then he will achieve alot in his life.

during mugal period ,mohd gori attacked india 16 times and he lost all time,when he was taking rest he saw a spider try to climb several times ,ultimately succeded ,gori won in seventeenth attempt ,life is like that ,we have to keep on trying ,we will win ,do not worry be happy.

Your attitude is absolutely commendable and that is the best positive way to go forward in life. Soemtimes, people expect beyond their own capacity, the level of hard work they have put in, the lack of awareness of work in the proper direction. A defeat must make us learn lessons and we have to pick up from where we made the mistake but occasionally people do lose their confidence. And if it is silly things then it can be attributed only to unrealsitic expectations. How can one make them think posiitvely? -By analysing the situation objectively and highlighting their impractical attitude.
