Ashamed of myself.. feel like a failure?

Well its been two months since i have graduated with a whopping 2.93 gpa in finance and management. I have been looking for jobs for almost a month and i have had a couple interviews but no luck. I feel like i have let my parents down. I first started off as pre-med and changed my major because i just wasnt smart enough. I would try so hard for a class and still would get below average grades. Consequently changing my major didnt help.. i was still stuggling as a business major and got below average grades in several classes eventhough i studied day and night. And to make things worse my friends are all doing well. Some have got into medical school, pharmacy school, and graduate school. And me.. nothing. My parents always compare me to them and its just sad. I have not accomplished anything in life and i feel like im the prime example of someone sucking at life. I had all the opportunity in the world and i let my parents down and especially myself. i try so hard and get so far but in the end it dosnt matter. wtf.

1. wow, don't be so hard on yourself. If God wanted everybody to be Einsteins, then this world would be a very boring place with brainiac physicists walking around all over the place. Not everybody can excell academically. I know you have other skills that you are very good at or have other admirable qualities. One thing, you are sensitive, a lot of people don't give a damn about grades and the future and their parents.. You're a good person, you care about a lot of things. A lot of people just don't give a damn. You da man dawg!
2. Wow. Two whole months hey? Lol.. Youre not a failure, you just havent worked out what and where you want to be yet! Are you making a real effort to put yourself out there? Is more training perhaps necessary? Dont wallow!! Get on with the business of deciding what you want to do with your life then go for it! Im sure if your parents see you making positive moves towards a future they will be fine, if theyre not then the problem is theirs not yours.
3. You're not that bad, at least you can spell.
4. You can't please everybody, so you gotta please yourself. "whatever you are now, call it perfection, and know, that in this moment it is really enough" It is very hard right after you have graduated, to find a job. On average it takes 6 months for anyone to find a job, and being a recent graduate is even harder. So, give yourself a break. My advice is that while you are looking (use careerbuilders.com and apply to anything that looks interesting, and for which you might qualify) get a job at a store: that way, at least you are earning something...... Make sure that each day, you are either on the computer, looking and applying, or working, or doing something constructive. Dont hang around the house. Exercise, find hobby's you like, learn a martial art, lift weights, hike. This is a really good time in your life to think about who YOU are and what YOU love. Forget what others think. If it would help, you could talk to someone who can help you figure things out..... Hang in there: it wont last forever.....no one is perfect.
5. Hey stop beating yourself so damn hard, don't give up trying, go to real estate companies, place your resume at certain sites in the Internet, There is this company called Continental who give jobs for building managers and similar positions, they pay is not that bad. You know what would be bad?, the fear of not daring to do things, just don't give up, keep looking. You are not who you say you are, I wish I could have done half of what you accomplished. If I tell you my life, then you will see the difference, I 'm the one who sucks in life. You are brilliant.
6. Okay honey, first please take a deep breath!............................ Second, you need to know that you are not a failure! It is been onyl 2 months, you are looking for a job, it is not as if you were lying down on your couch waiting for something to fall on your lap?! Maybe those people didn't emply you because you were too qualilfied for the job and they didn't want to pay you all the money you are worth! Have you ever thought about that? I mean why go straight to the negative thought that you are not good for them or whatever? You are good enough for anyone, you are a great, smart person and there is no reason not to think so! No matter what your parents tell you. You have not let your parents down and if they tell you that, put them in your shoues, ask them; How would you feel if you were always working hard to impress your parents and they were never impressed with you? If you were always giving your best to make them proud and they were never proud of you? You need to stop comparing me to other people because I am your son and you need to stop making me feel like I am no good for you! You need to tell them how you feel, you can not keep all this anger in you, it is NOT healthy and they need to know how you feel. They maybe doing this unnoticebly and won't be able to fix their ways if you don't tell them right?! People can only change and fix mistakes if they realise it themselves or if they are told about it, so gon on honey, explain how you feel and don't do this to yourself, next time you go into an interview, BE POSITIVE, tell yourself that you will get it because you deserve it, tell yourself positive things and you will get it! You can do anything in life if you believe in yourself! YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE, YOU ARE SUCCESFUL, YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT, YOU ARE SMART AND YOU DESERVE TO HAVE GREAT THINGS IN LIFE!!! Tell yourself that and believe that!!! You have not and will never let anyone down! Ps; that is one handsome looking avatar!
7. you are taking unnecessary pressure on yourself.Everyone works well if he/she is natural .You are taking pressure of others feeling (your parents) and may be others and its all this pressure of expectations that is stopping you. Try to be natural and its only you who is pressurizing yourself,stop thinking this way and it will help .You would be able to work more productively.
8. don't be ashamed...the problem is with your parents. Once you get out on your own and make your own way you'll be fine and can stop beating yourself up about this. Sounds to me like you didn't take the time to learn about yourself before you started into college. To see where your strengths are, to see what you like to do, and then to match a career to that. Remember too that right now the economy isn't that great and it's getting worse so people are losing their jobs and jobs are beginning to get harder to find. Get to a community college and ask for a test that will help you choose your career field, and in the meantime see if you can pick up a job like as manager at walgreens for the evening shift.
