man failure literally snowballs as early as age 10-11.
here's an extremely brutal story
i was like 10-11 years old at the latest, and I couldn't get my one best friend to come to my birthday party, because there was this like, 6 year old puny kid in our neighborhood who was rich and was born on the same day as me, and had a party with more guests and better food.
so my friend decided to go to the retarded puny kid's party instead.
THAT EARLY i had people refusing to hang out with me because they knew i had less going on. leaving me completely alone on my birthday.
THAT EARLY i had failure snowballing bigger and bigger and creating a death spiral.
that was the last time i ever had a birthday party of any kind, even a fake one, it was all over and i was just 10 or so.
