It is OK not to be happy all the time.
It is also OK not to be the best, or even to be the worst!
It is OK to acknowledge your behavior or thoughts are bad and to really experience your negative behaviors and thoughts - you can regret or feel sadness about them without looking away to escapism.
Finally, even if you are the worst among your peers, at least you aren't as bad or sad as characters of old fashioned tragedies and cautionary tales which are meant to give kids intuitive understanding of the three principles above.
