4 Reasons Why You Sabotage your Self-esteem
1. I’m a Failure
Some people have experienced failure in the past and therefore start identifying themselves as a “failure”. They describe past or current conditions that prove they are a failure. Then, they actually create situations that corroborate their failure belief over and over. For example, they’ll apply for a position they know they’ll never get, or pursue a certification without studying for the test, just to prove they’re a failure.
They tell themselves and others, “See, I told you I was a failure and was never going to amount to much.” It’s the victim mentality and a self-fulfilling prophecy. It becomes a very uncomfortable comfort zone, but something that feels familiar. And, as the old saying goes, familiarity breeds content.
