Failure should never be seen as a bad things. The greatest heros humanity has conjured up such as hercules went through madness failure and misery but redeemed himself through countless trails to god hood. People these days are so hard programmed to not even think of other people who messed up and just call them numbers as you said or mock them such as those who make fun of people who do btech. We should always be aware of tradgey and have empathy with the person and hope they have the strength to walk their path with righteousness and hope. Good luck op im sure you will do great in life and so do many others in this thread and world.
