failing at life
Persistent personal collapse
Failing at life is a self-deprecating or critical assessment that someone isn't meeting basic expectations of adult competence—holding a job, maintaining relationships, managing daily tasks.
The phrase is often hyperbolic and humorous: I burned my toast and spilled coffee on myself—I'm failing at life today.
It can also express genuine despair about one's circumstances.
