If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel better. Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it.   1   

First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn’t make us failures—it just means we are human, and that things didn’t work out this time. If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain.   2   So you should try to find out what does for you.

Failure can be a great teacher if you’re open to learning. Did you make a whole series of mistakes? Think about what you could do differently next time.   3   Instead of seeing a failure as a burden weighing you down, look at it as a stepping stone toward your goals.

Once you’ve identified your mistakes and where you can learn from them, you’ll be ready to make a plan for moving forward.   4   Stop thinking, “I am a failure.” and focus on thinking. “I am capable of trying again.” Create a plan that will help you put the information you gained into practice.

If you’ve spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort.   5   Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail. Over time, you’ll learn that failure isn’t as bad as you might imagine.

Practice stepping outside your comfort zone.

Not every coping skill works for everyone, though.

These will provide you with some temporary relief.

Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson.

And it helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better.

Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck.

There are many reasons why you might be feeling like a failure.

根据空前的 “If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain. (如果你真的觉得自己很失败，打电话给朋友，出去散步，或者和你的宠物一起玩，这些都是处理痛苦的健康方法。)” 可知，此处列举了一些面对失败的一些健康方法，结合空后的 “So you should try to find out what does for you. (所以你应该试着找出什么适合你。)” 可知，此处建议找出适合自己的方法，根据so可知，此空处与空后的内容为因果关系，由此可知，此空处讲述的应是不适合所有的人，B选项 “Not every coping skill works for everyone, though. (然而，并不是所有的应对技巧都适用于每个人。)” 讲述的内容承接上文，且与空前内容为转折关系，与空后的内容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选B。
