It depends, really! Yes, sometimes when someone says they're doing their best, it might be coming from a place of feeling like their efforts might not be enough, which can lead to a sense of frustration or failure. They may be worried that despite their hard work, they're not seeing the results they hoped for, and that can make them doubt themselves.
If you're worried about them, you could acknowledge their efforts and remind them that doing their best is already a significant achievement. You could say something like, "I hear you, and I can see how hard you're trying. Progress isn't always immediate, but every step you're taking is moving you forward, even if it doesn't always feel that way. It's important to be patient with yourself and recognise that success can take time. You're doing great, and your hard work will pay off eventually."
I hope this helps
