RE: Why do some people tend to sabotage themselves?

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

I am still hoping that others will read it and acknowledge the fact that they sabotage themselves. In my opinion this is the first step and where 90% of the people I have met have been stuck at. Not realizing that they are submerged in a murky complacency loop of lack of success, while also not being able to see the big picture and thus, the way out. I know some of these people and I really have a hard time trying to help them.
What is the best approach in your opinion?

Well, not finding success is not necessarily because of self sabotage.

If people are mentally blocked its not easy to make them change their perspective of things. Perhaps saying things directly (about lacking of success) in a semi harsh way will make them wake up and start changing their mentality. But its dangerous because if you speak to harsh on them this can negatively affect the relation and even make the other person feel bad about all this.

But being honest when talking about delicate things is probably the best in my opinion, being honest and direct.
