How founder groups can avoid acknowledging real failure

I'm part of a founder cohort where we're supposed to support each other through the challenges of building companies, but we've all become so good at framing our struggles as learning opportunities that I don't think any of us actually admits when we're failing. We've created this environment where struggle is productive and failure is just delayed success, and I realize I don't know how any of us are actually doing.

What we've seen

Everyone in your group spins their failures as lessons, so no one ever admits they're actually struggling.
