I have an extremely fixed mindset. I understand that learning happens, but it can only happen if you're given the right opportunities, meet the right people, do the right things. As so, learning can, in my opinion, only reach a certain point.
If you suck at something, then you'll suck at it until you, yourself, put forth the effort to do it. A growth mindset is just expecting things to come to you with unrelenting faith. If you're bad at something now there's only so much you can do to improve; and when you can't then there's nothing and nobody to blame but yourself.
If you're not good at something then you can still be a bit better but learning well and properly is rare and is only given to the extremely rich and extremely powerful. Anything besides that doesn't get any opportunities in the real world. Your learning ability, what you're good at, what you're bad at, your talents, your mind, is/are entirely shaped by your environment.
Anyways, I don't see the point in actually learning anything while we're here, since most of the people in the world don't have much of a future and even if you did, nobody will remember you long after you're gone. So why worry about changing your outcome anyways? We're all going to die regardless. In a few million years we'dve all wiped ourselves off the planet altogether. I don't really see the point in caring about anything after this point.
So why try and get a good education to do something meaningful in the long run, when you can just get a beer and chill for a while?
. But that's just my opinion. I have only one perspective, and even that's not a very good outlook on things and life as a whole. Feel free to tell me what I missed because I'm sure I did miss something.
(Well that was interesting. I kinda lost track of where I was going so I hope this still makes coherent sense I'm just going to get back to whatever I was doing before I wrote this)

ever since i failed my first class 2 years ago. I felt like complete trash. I felt that if I couldnt finish this class with at least a C that I couldnt go on with uni. And it has been bugging me since. I do have the fixed mindset where i constantly tell myself there is no future for me for not being able to pass my classes. Since then, I have been struggling keeping that fear of failing in the badk of my mind and it is driving me crazy everyday. This semester sin't looking so hot and if i dont pass. my graduate class will seem nigh imposssible then. thnx for helping psych2go. ill try my best to change to the fluid mindset than this stone mindset.

Well. I still don't know what I have. I'm always telling myself that everything will be fine and that I can learn the things I always wanted to learn but right now. I'm somehow a mix of both of these types because I believe that I can succeed and graduate high school but at the same time I don't want to learn things that I don't want to learn such as math, history or physic but to pass school I must study for those too but instead I keep doing nothing and get low grades and this is the first time that I'm in such a strange situation.
I want to pass but I do nothing for it. What is wrong with me!

I've compared myself to others, constanly feeling judged and worth less than others my whole life. Never persued anyone romantically for the fear of rejection, never believed in myself during university for the fear of failure. I am 25 now and feel I have missed out on so much and gathered so much self hate, based on nothing but my own cowardess and distrust in others. I might not be able to change completely, but I bought the mindset book and hope it can lead me on a path of appreciating myself, my path and helping others build theirs. Giving this a shot might be the first of many good signs. :)

I have a growth mind set but my dad is fixed (and it's ANNOYING. For example, everytime I lose at my tennis games he's all like, Let's get a win next time. or What could you do to be better? or You need to practice more. Yes, I do practice, yes I do win mostly, but I don't care about winning or losing because I ALWAYS see myself better than the other team. I try to make a point to him that losing doesn't determine whether I'm good enough or not. If I think like that, I might as well not play the damn game. This vid was really helpful.

In our school, we had this 'Midweek Mindset'. During the announcements, our principal gives us some tips and challenges us to do a certain thing that involves having a growth mindset. I think I have a growth mindset because I barely compare myself to others. Instead of being jealous about their success, I would always be happy about them and even ask them some tips on how to become successful. Anyways, I love your videos because it helps me learn about psychology even though I am still a middle-schooler. Have a good day! (:

Right now i'm struggling, dont know where i am going with life (things didnt came as expected) but i do realize that so far i've been very negative and thats something pushing me backwards. i still feel anxious but i'm taking the advice from some close people that i need to learn how to deal with failure, work to show my potential and not overthink, because i am too young and surely will have more problems in the future, when i become an adult. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

I have this mindset that became a characteristic of me thinking that I'm lesser although I know I am equally as great as other achievers. And it IS easier said than done. It's hard to be around people who don't know my inner struggles of trying to do what they can - if not even better. It's also part of my job to do my best but it's a wreck, still. I feel terrible bringing it home then dragging my personal problems to my profession. I don't know what to do. :(

Definitely a fixed mindset.
I have a crush on a girl for 4 years.
we are friends, and we talk once a week, and see each other once a month. (we go out with another friend, so it's 3 of us)
she's a great person, she is pretty, smart, she has a great sense of humor, she's kind to everyone.
there's no reason actually for me to tell her how I feel.
I want to tell her how I feel, but I think she won't feel the same way as I do.

Either fixed or growth but in every situations every person uses both of them. fixed mindset revolves around growth mindset and vice versa. sorry to say this, this video imposes on target audience without strong base. Realize that mindsets are varied in every situations based on conscious, subconscious and super conscious memory except unconscious. thank you

I really needed this video. It is hard sometimes not to have a fixed mindset, especially if you did well at school. Now I'm at college and it has been quite hard. I did quite well except for a final exam I failed twice, but hopefully I'm learning that it is not the end of the world: ) I hope that later in life as a teacher, I'll teach this to my students

Mind growing is my goal in life, you've just given me the the label for what I was doing.
Thank you for the encouraging words in your video.
I think that one major step in one's life is the realization of the human condition and how each one of us is extremely free to make choices and to deal with the consequences.

I've got a fixed mindset. So much so, in fact, that I feel like that it's all over in terms of my future. I've screwed up my grades the first two years of high school. I passed with four D's each year. I'm joining the Air Force because it's my only choice as far as I know.

I think I have a growth mindset as when I do something I like but want to get better at, a challenge is fun.
Plus my idea of the definition of of failure is just needs more practice. And the only time it is bad is when you can't afford practice

when I was younger I had a fixed mindset. Now I have a very growth mindset, although my anxiety can make it temporarily back to fixed for a few minutes / hours. But in general, I have a very growth mindset and want to learn as much as possible.

I've recently been wondering who to keep my mind clear, since a lot of shitty stuff passed to me in the last few months, I don't really know what to think or how to react to my thoughts. Any idea of what I can do?

I have a highly fixed mindset, and now the only way out of my predicament is extreme suicide. Well, that is if you consider suspension hanging extreme. Maybe if I end up shitting myself? Lmao.
