Do mistakes make you feel like a bad person in general?

I know individuals that think just because they make bad decisions, they look down on themselves. I disagree, I only think it makes you a bad person if you let it. What do you guys think?

Good day jennigoff. Mistakes make me feel human. We all make mistakes. As long as we own up to it and grow stronger and wiser because of it, that's the way to make life richer and and more productive. Have a great day, my friend.

I try to learn from my mistakes and become better at not making the same mistakes twice. Most of the time I do, however, sometimes I tend to repeat the same mistakes unwillingly or naturally.

Agreed, some people learn and some don't. I am not one who believes anyone really has the right to judge, but should either want to be there or not to help us through both good and bad.

I do not understand why anyone would immediately associate mistake with being bad: To err is human. When I make a mistake I simply learn from it and move on cautiously.

I feel bad when I make a mistake, sometimes even a little dumb or a little depressed. But mistakes are a part of life. Everyone makes yjrm. Hopefully, you learn from it and don't repeat it. I got a three day suspension unpaid because I made a mistake. In the letter, she said "Marty is to return to work on Monday and work at 100% accuracy." No one in that office worked at 100% accuracy!

Hello,first of all keeping a person in "Bad" category just because s/he doesn't take good decisions,doesn't seem to be proper.Most of the people want to take good decisions but the 'Results of the decisions' are not in their hands,results are sometime good or bad.Whether a person is bad or good involves so many other qualities.

When I've made a mistake I feel so bad inside wishing that I could fix it, but we live and learn if we don't look own on ourselves then we wouldn't see it as being a mistake and we'd do it over again.
