It may be a common mindset but this fact doesn't justify having the mindset. If the person thinks he's a failure, what's more logical than to try even harder to achieve something and prove to himself he's not a failure?
The way i see it, a continuous and frequent state of helplessness is unacceptable, unless the person is severely emotionally unstable, in which case he should go see a psychiatrist.
