Have you ever failed? I find it hard to believe there is anybody on this planet who is able to use the internet but has never failed at anything. I'm not having a go, it just seems an odd question - if you try to do something you obviously believe, on some level, that you will succeed. If you then fail it means your self-assessment was wrong and you are not as good as you thought you were. The mistake a lot of people (including me) make is extrapolating this sense of lower-self-worth-than-previously-thought into other areas of their life e.g. if somebody goes for a job interview, they plainly believe they at least have a chance or they would not try. When they get rejected they think, well, if my self-assessment was wrong in this area, what's to stop it being wrong in other areas? Am I really as good as I think I am? Thus leading to sadness.
I doubt if people actually think those specific words, with me it is more of a 'feeling', but I'm a guy so I don't really pay much attention to that sort of thing.
Let me ask you a question. Why did you ask this question in the first place, did you genuinely not know why people feel sad when they fail?

How did WWII people feel when there were bombs and fighting and evacuations and executions?
Like any other war before or since World War II, people living in a war zone feel worried, terrified, sad, angry, and feel the lack of control over their own circumstances. People were injured or killed, leaving sad family members. People also feared for their own lives, their children and family's lives.
