2. You Are Impatient.
You just couldn't wait could you? You asked Allah for something over and over again, and when you didn't get it when you wanted it, you got impatient.
And so you gave up. You stopped asking and started believing that Allah wasn't going to answer your dua. And then you went and told someone that Allah didn't answer your prayers.
The supplication of a slave continues to be granted as long as he does not supplicate for a sinful thing or for something that would cut off the ties of kinship and he does not grow impatient." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! What does growing impatient mean?" He (PBUH) said, "It is one's saying: 'I supplicated again and again but I do not think that my prayer will be answered.' Then he becomes frustrated (in such circumstances) and gives up supplication altogether.

Your knowledge is limited. But Allah's knowledge is unlimited. You might think you want something right now, but Allah knows better when it is right to give it to you.
Perhaps He didn't give it to you at that time because it would bring you more harm than good. Perhaps He wanted to test you and had you been patient with the test, He would have rewarded you with something better. Only Allah knows.
But since you became impatient, and said the wrong thing and stopped making dua, you lost out on everything.
4. You Don't Think You're Gonna Get It.
Why would you even ask Allah for something if you don't believe He's gonna give it to you? What's the point of supplicating Allah if you don't have any faith that it's gonna happen?
Impossible and possible is all in your mind. Just because you don't think it can happen, doesn't mean it won't. And it certainly doesn't mean Allah can't make it happen.
Don't you know that Allah is:
Al-Aziz - The Mighty
Al-Samad - The One that everything relies upon
Al-Qadir - The Powerful
Don't make half-hearted duas. Make your duas with confidence that Allah will grant them. Especially if you're asking for something good and beneficial.
Abu Huraira reported: "None of you should say, O Allah, forgive me if You wish, (or) O Allah, have mercy on me if you wish.' Rather you should be firm in your request, for (Allah does whatever He wishes) and no one can force Him to do otherwise."
