I've kept reading that people who don't get gains have to "try trying", and that they have to push themselves, so I have pretty much gone to failure on around half my compound sets, now I have read that this supposedly is bad for recovery and that I shouldn't go to failure often, so heres my question, how do I push myself without going to failure? Can it even be called pushing if you're not going to failure? I'm really confused.
Are the people whos told to push themselves such little bitches that they dont even go to near failure?

You made one mistake when people gave you that advice, you pushed reps not weight.
When you're on a linear program and keep increasing weight from workout to workout you'll notice that at one point the weight just doesn't move as fast anymore, the rests you take get longer and you might even get anxious about the next set. Sometimes you'll stop at the 4th rep and actually consider doing another one simply because you're not sure if you'll make it or not.
That's the point at which you push yourself, psyche yourself up move the weight with good strict form and complete the final rep. Of course safety comes first, having a spotter is invaluable on the bench, having safeties on squats too.

thats exactly what I do, but I rarely give up after the 4th rep unless my form was bad.

it's a common knowledge that to get muscle mass you need to tear the muscle. so "trying" means lifting heavier weights, lifting them properly, and lifting them when you feel like your muscles can't do it.
oh, also the diet. even someone with shittiest genetics will get tremendous gains over the course of a year this way.

Isn't that going to failure?
