> With all due respect, your failure in a new role is your own.

What possible meaning did you place on it other than that? I completely own my own failure in role. Why else would I say maybe it colours my outlook ?

Struggling to understand what value you thought you were bringing to the conversation, saying this. You really think I didn't own my own mistakes? Why?

The meaning is that I agree with you that your bad experience coloured your outlook. I don't think a single negative experience is a useful guide.

I do wish you the best of luck as you try new roles and advance in your career.
