    Depends on the situation. Sometimes I am sorry I bothered to give my best. Sometimes I feel like crap for letting people down. Sometimes I just don't care.

    like a big, heaping pile of shit...it sucks when you try so hard at something, even at what your best at, and not do good enough. It kind of gives you a sign of "give up, you cant do any better so why bother trying again?"

    actually hasnt happened to me...but thats just how i would imagine it.

    helpless probably, that feeling is not really a stranger to me though.

    Like I did my best....It's all I can do, and while I might feel down because the result wasn't what I was hoping for, I still gave my best and that's all i can do.

    never give your best, the best doesn't exist

    it does feel terrible that your very best isn't good enough for you or someone else. no one likes to fall short. but if you honestly give something everything you got, all that your soul is capable of - can you ask anymore of yourself?

    If you halfway study for an exam but tried really hard on the test that's not the same as giving it your best. giving it your best would be studying for the test to the best of your ability and taking the test to the best of your ability and than continuing to study everynight as opposed to cramming the night before your next exam.

    I feel a bit disappointed but I usually just try and analyze the situation, know I gave my best, and tell myself that next time I will do better.

    I can't think of a single time in my life when I felt like I tried my very best but failed...

    ...other than a few romantic entanglements.

    And those failures saddened me deeply.

    Luckily otherwise I'm a flawless individual...

    What you all consider best is mere mediocrity when compared to my best.

    If I give my best it's always enough regardless of the outcome.

    Ditto, for that very reason. What if my best isn't good enough? Than I have nothing. That and I jsut generally don't care enough to try.

    If you never try doing your best...your best will never improve. Yep, that's it. :D
