In Neimga!?, Makie is always saying "failed at me!".  Does anybody have any insight as to what this might mean?

Okay, I think I understand what's going on here.  This is a joke.  Makie is a very energetic and positive person.  The first time Ayaka belittles Makie for being "negative", Makie gets crushed, for failing to be "me".  Here's an entry from a wiki:

Since she shares the room with the Negi-crazy class president, Makie at times wears garments with her teacher's likeness on it. She reasons that Ayaka won't recognize her as a classmate if she refuses to wear them.^[2] The blonde later consistently belittles her for her lack of drive, exclaiming that "she fails at being Makie Sasaki" and making her further depressed. Her depression is marked by turning herself white and holding her pose for an extended amount of time.
