Sorry for creating another thread of this

Prompt:
Describe a time or situation where you have been unsuccessful or failed. What did you learn from this experience and how have you applied this learning to your work and/or life? (2500 characters)

When I entered college I started a relationship, I slowly started to push away and ignoring my closest friends because I was literally dedicating my whole time to this relationship. When my friends had problems I would just push them aside or made it seem like their problems were trivial to me. Slowly, my relationship started becoming unhealthy until it finished. When it did, I realized that I had no one to talk about it with. I was left alone because of my decision to push everyone away. I failed the people closest to me when they needed me the most.

I did learn stuff about this, just trying to keep the post short

Idk if this is a good topic to write about or if it actually fits the prompt, would like to get some input. Any advice would be helpful 🙂

The topic seems a bit personal, but I think it may be appropriate if you can articulate how you grew from the experience and how you can apply it to work/life. What you wrote above seems like a time where you failed and the story ends with your failure, with nothing about what you learned from the experience and how you can apply that to your future career/life.

Just my 2 cents, perhaps someone with more experience will have a different opinion.
