r/failuretolaunch is a subreddit with 5k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses failure, failure to launch, life, launch, and career.
Failure has such a finality to it, like DEATH. Like game over, no restart, no more lives, no more chances. But failure is never a final judgement of your worth, it's just turbulence on your journey that is a LEARNING OPPORTUNITY. This group is here to help you examine your data and make a new attempt to launch a different way!
