What’s something that you shamefully failed at?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I wanted to go to a war , soon after the war started in Ukraine, I and my ex fiance broke up for the first time, I decided to get enlisted in army and help the wounded soldiers, I was feeling like I lost the life purpose when I lost my first love and didn’t care for my life that much anymore.

So, I was quite serious about going to a war and got enlisted in the army that was going to leave soon to fight in Ukraine against Russians.

Of course, first I needed to start trainings and they were really rough. I didn’t expect that…

First thing I failed at was that - during trainings I was flirting with captains and disobeying them involuntarily cause I found it sexy when they were giving punishments.
I was almost compelled to disobey. So I was punished pretty often too.

I literally had no sense of discipline and acted kind of out of place.

Then as the trainings got much physically rougher and truly challenging even for strong men, I was still willing to finish it, at some point, during the training in high snowy mountains I got so tired, couldn’t keep going anymore.

I also didn’t want to make them all slow because of me, so I told them to leave me and go without me.

Thankfully, there was this handsome captain, who took me in his shoulders and carried me all the way till the end of forest.

I really feel thankful cause after such a hard training non-stop for several hours, I had no power left at all.

At the end of the day, I felt like army is not for me and gave up, came back home dirty, with bruises on literally every part of my body. I could ‘t walk for 3 days 🤣🤣🤣

That’s something I’ll never do again.

I felt really ashamed of myself, that captain was messaging me everyday to check up if I was okay.

But that’s probably the first and only time I really shamefully failed, all my family and friends were laughing at and with me for weeks and of course I was disqualified to join the army again.

Well, I think the reason I disobeyed was that - I don’t like being commanded what to do. And they were very strict which I disliked.

Of course, I know it’s unprofessional but I think it’s just because never have I been told what to do, so I found hard to follow rules.

Especially not in a strict manner. If you tell me nicely - I might do it. But all of the captains were really strict to everyone.

I think it's odd you didn't think training for a war was going to be that tough. It's not shameful to have failed something like this. It's admirable that you tried but naive and borderline insulting at the same time.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think I expected it to be rough, but I was confident that I’d handle.

I didn’t expect my body to be weaker than my will at some point.

Why is it insulting?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

If you mean the lack of discipline, It’s just so deeply rooted in my personality, actually I was hoping those trainings would help me become at least a bit more disciplined. Because I feel like I am too rebellious and always do everything my own way. So, while I was being myself, I also hoped that I would be less of myself at the end of them. Because I don’t like the total carelessness I possess sometimes.

[JessicaEarl]

Screw that. Amazing of her for trying. Very brave. In the end, if your body/will can’t take the strain, it’s best you come home. That way you’re not putting your squad mates at risk

[Friendlybro79]

@lafemmefatale_1 I mean borderline not totally insulting. I think it is admirable you tried and really honorable. It probably reads a lot more derogatory than I mean it to. Borderline insulting to think it's not going to be that tough (your words). I don't mean you insulted anyone. I could have used my words better too.

Life.

I am serious and not being a drama queen.

I come here to not think about it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Try writing a book, for example I am certain, all of my failures would make for a great book.

[abc3643]

I've been told by a few different people that my life should have been a movie.

The most successful writers are just people who are very good at losing…

That’s why I tell you that, I know nothing about your life.

However, I know what makes a writer.

Being a loser - is an art of its own.

The best of my life stories come from my failures!

So, everything has a two side, even losing.

There’s nothing absolute in this world.

Even I failed so shamelessly at this training, doesn’t it make a great story?

I once fought competitively against a girl in a Thai boxing fight in front of a sizeable audience, and being a guy I fully expected to win. Although I did dominate the fight, because groin protection was not allowed in mixed fights, the girl won by running up and kicking me in the groin her absolute hardest! Obviously it was a devastating loss for me, but just pure delight for her. Aside from the agony and damage her kick caused, I remember feeling so humiliated for shamefully failing in a fight against a girl. I haven’t fought against a girl since, and I doubt I ever will.

[msc545]

I am very glad you did not get badly hurt. This is not for everyone - you tried your best.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I was really disappointed in myself though

[msc545]

I understand - but still... all any of us can do is try.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

But I also find it funny, cause at least when I remember it, it always makes me smile at myself.

[msc545]

why?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Because the whole situation was funny in my opinion

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I mean, looking back - me being there was funny.

[msc545]

How so?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why do you ask me such hard questions?

Probably because I tend to laugh at my failures.

[Sabretooth]

Fights in video games. kinda petty but I take pride in my gaming. My most recent serious humiliation was during an op where (being tired) messed up my left and right... Getting my entire team killed.

[Andres77]

Are you serious or are you trying out a new plot for a book?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

New plot, for sure…

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

By the way, I haven’t written any books yet. I want to earn more experiences and then write a really good book because I feel like my life was fun, interesting and dramatic enough to make a good story out of it.

[Andres77]

I’d be interested in reading it

[BoopBoopBeep]

Tell you what, in ten years, you write one and I'll write one. :)

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@BoopBoopBeep Deal! Just so you know, I take my promises pretty seriously, I expect the same from you 😝

[BoopBoopBeep]

@lafemmefatale_1 Yes, ma'am. Editing and approval may be slow as frozen hell, but I'll start cranking it out after I retire.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I sucked as a student I used to study my butt off and be happy if I got a C.

[Unknown29]

And this is why women shouldn’t be in combat roles!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Don’t be so angry…

[Unknown29]

I’m not angry, but I think women in front line combat is pretty ridiculous.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I would disagree, because some of my captains were women.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I just think, I am not a good fir for that 🤭

[Sparkie460]

You gave it a shot and found out that it wasn't for you. That's nothing to be ashamed of. The military isn't for everyone

[NYCQuestions1976]

Yeah basic training for actual war definitely isn't the place for flirting.

[YourExLover69]

I'm still using GAG though I should be moved on from here already. 🤧

[AmeerX]

You should go to War in Ukraine once again. I think three days walk is nothing
