Multiple Choice

A) "So what's wrong with being a failure, anyway? Who said you had to succeed at everything? And so what if you are a failure? Does that make you less of a person?"
B) "You feel like a failure. Tell me more about that feeling."
C) "Tell me the thoughts that come to your mind when you think about being a failure, no matter how silly or irrelevant they might seem to be."
D) "Have you really failed at everything you've ever attempted? You graduated from college, right? And high school? You managed to drive yourself to this appointment, right? So you must have at least succeeded in passing your driver's test. How can you say that you've failed at everything you ever attempted? What's your evidence for that statement?"
