Recovering from a steering downfall, I found myself at a crossroad of confusions.

(Does this sentence sound right?)
( I meant that I was thoroughly confused!)

What is a "steering downfall"? Also I think a "crossroad of confusions" is not something native speakers would say. If you want to say you were thoroughly confused, why not say just that?

@Tes yeux noirs,
Another favour....

One probable solution, taking stocks and calling it quits, eluded me from the start, but I was adamant to soldier on.

How does this sounds?

1. That doesn't make any sense. Try to express what you want to say in simple language.

2. Reviewing a situation is "taking stock", not "taking stocks".

3. Wrong use of adamant.

@Tes yeux noirs,
They mostly have text books where these sentences are written down this way.
ESL text books are horrible, I should now.

@Tes yeux noirs,
The complex of hate and vengeance corrodes ones ability to think rationally.

I'd say "The complexity of hate and vengeance destroys ones ability to think rationally.

@CalamityJane,
This unanticipated turn of event helped me meet life’s challenges head-on.

Having overcome some of my life’s struggles, I’m compelled to say that I’ve indeed outdone myself.

If it weren’t for my neediness to succeed and the uplifting words of wisdom from my circle of true friends (it was a small circle indeed!), I would not have sprung back.


Please point out the errors.tq

You keep using "big" words. Why?

@CalamityJane,
Any flaws??

From the beginning, I was relentlessly mocked by failure.

To make matters worse, the constant reminder and bickering from my ‘friends’ and next of kin made me buckle under pressure.
