  • In this video, we're going to talk about why we self sabotage. And, more importantly, how to stop self sabotaging. Self sabotage is a behavior that we do on a regular basis without realizing it. It's usually a result of negative thoughts that we keep hidden from ourselves. And, as you'll see in this video, it can have a negative impact on our lives and our relationships.
    So why don't we talk about these negative thoughts? Because, if we can start to talk about them, we can start to change them. And that's why this video is so important. By learning about the reasons why we self sabotage, we can start to change our behavior and live our lives to the fullest.
    Are you self sabotaging without even realizing it? We also made a video on the signs you're self sabotaging: • 7 Signs Of Self Sabotage

    This is me exactly. This is why people like me catastrophize and assume worst case scenario, so the pain is a lot less if it actually happens. When I am unprepared for it, it feels catastrophic.

      Same thing with me. Only when I expect the worst, I fear even getting close to it which causes more self-sabotage. It doesn't make anything better for me but for some reason I feel like expecting the worst will suddenly make whatever does happen so much easier and maybe even surprising in a good way. But I can't do that if I refuse to even try out of fear for the worst

Nothing i do is ever good enough for my parents, and i can never go out and get big enough experiences in my life, to be recognized as a heartly part of this "family". And finally, litterally noone cares about me. Im looking forward to the day i dont have to be on this planet anymore. I have grown very tired of life.

They are ruining their life and mine too. Negativity is growing on me and I can't do anything but cry in my room most of the time. The feeling of envy for people who are surrounded by good and caring people really sucks. I will ensure that once I grow up as an adult my past won't interfere with my career and desires.

    I'm crying right now, this is too relatable😭
    I already knew before I watched this that I'm ruining every chance I get at something greater and something I desire, but it just hurts so much when all of this seems to be calling out everything I do. It's like someone telling me I need to get better and stop destroying everything I enjoy, but it's not that simple! So far the only solution I have to this problem is just digging this problematic hole bigger and I can't stop!
    But, unlike most people, this isn't caused by trauma in my past. No, this is caused by FEAR of those traumatic experiences happening to me. I'm already broken enough, I don't need more cracks! 😭

    I've done everything humanly possible to avoid self sabotage. but no matter what I do to achieve my goals I am confronted by the same old road blocks. These are circumstances beyond my control. I concentrate on the positive in everything I do but still getting no where. It's as if I'm stuck in a loop. I take the straight and always end up back where I've started But I'm still bound and determined not to let anything stand in my way. What must I do to take control of the things I can't control, pray? That's all I've been doing.

    Through a myriad of circumstances that I won’t get into here, I’ve taken a position as a life coach for a few people in my area. The #1 facet I focus on is eliminating fear. Once that fear barrier is removed, the sky’s the limit for these people, who have been conditioned over the course of their lives to hear “it’s a pipe dream, there’s too many people better than you at “X”, you’ve never been good at anything….” and the number one thing they’ve heard…”you only get disappointed if you go for “X”. Truthfully in my younger years I heard and subscribed to this mindset. Now I live in fear of not trying, not climbing, not taking a chance to better myself and my family. It’s hard to look back on the opportunities I let go over the years because I was afraid to fail. Sorry for writing a book guys, but I hope this helps some of you all! Hugs and positive vibes from the Roots of Eternity family! ❤

  • @Moraenil

    The first one is definitely me. But, I also know it was brought about by how I was treated by my parents, grandparents, "friends", teachers, pretty much everyone. I was constantly told how I was never good enough and how nothing I ever did was right (still hear it constantly in my 40s, it's never stopped), and when you hear something enough, you believe it. And when that kind of attitude is attributed, not only to things you try to do, but who you are as a person, it destroys you, utterly and completely. And because this was all I heard about me all my life, and I believe it, how can I not sabotage myself when everything I've ever done in my life as proven to me that I can't ever do anything right by anyone? I'm also very afraid of success of any kind, because I've never really had it, and I know that expectations will go from too high to even higher, thereby making it even more impossible to ever see true success or be happy.

    I tend to self sabotage a lot, especially with friendships because of my low self-esteem and insecurities. I'm extremely self aware, which means i'm also very critical of myself. That's why I avoid my friends (people in general) and isolate myself. If I could afford therapy I would definitely try it. 😭

    "Self-abandonment,
    The emotional root of self-sabotage"
    -Susan Anderson-
    This is the quote I though of while watching this video because it's truth.
    When we abandon ourselves we have just set ourselves up for failure. Nothing sabotages my hopes, dreams, and goals more throughly than the FEAR that I'm not good enough and never will be.
    My own self doubt is the largest ball and chain in my life. I know that I have the knowledge, skills, and capability to accomplish whatever I set my mind too.
    When I started junk journaling I loved it....
    It was so therapeutic and fun....but.....then I started looking up ideas instead of just creating my own pages. I started comparing my work to those beautiful, elaborate pages on TikTok and Instagram.....then it turned into, "Why can't my pages be that glorious?" Now I haven't done a page in months because I fear the judgment of others if they were to see it.
    Same thing with my book.....
    I started it with so much confidence in my story and how I would tell it.....
    I'll sit and write for 30-40 minutes but then when I get to a scene that involves some intense torture or has some extra spice I begin to doubt it. "What if this is too much?" or "Will my friends and family think differently knowing this came out of my mind?"
    So I quit..until I build myself back up to just write what I see in my mind....then write a little, then back to worrying....quit again. Round and round it goes.....
    Because of self-sabotage I've probably missed out several opportunities in life that I wish I'd jumped at....
    I'm my biggest fan and my biggest hater...
    The saddest part.....
    I can see that I'm doing it but have no idea how to quit doing it. I'm trying to be more self aware, but it sucks to see the damage being done and feeling helpless to fix it.

    It's not only because of my caregiver as a child that I have an insecure attachment style. Ambivalent. I know that nothing here lasts forever. I have lost a ton of friends to addiction and even in my adult years, good friendships don't last. We grow apart and life happens. We find other interests and passions. So, when I bond with someone I open up too real quickly. And when it comes to places and things, I feel both strong positive and negative about them. I care. When I care. I am passionate. I don't do anything if I don't do it with passion.

    the familiarity heuristic can also play into the sunk cost fallacy. the puzzle study participants may have felt that they had devised a strategy for solving the first type of puzzle, and that despite the puzzle itself being longer, they would make shorter work of it with their strategy than if they had to solve an entirely different (but "shorter") puzzle. they'd already sunk the time into learning how to solve the first type of puzzle and didn't want to forfeit that cost to start over with a new type of puzzle.

    I've done the second and third ones, but not the first, fourth, and fifth ones. I was taking the STAAR test and I was on the writing portion in English. For some reason, when I would hit the spacebar on the document, it would erase a character somewhere in the document. This happened when I was almost on the conclusion paragraph. I got so frustrated and felt like I was messing up and failing, so I held down the spacebar and erased the entire thing. I told the teacher who was supervising me what happened and he told me he realized what was going on and fixed it. Whereas on the third one, I'm an admin in a Discord server and I feel like I'm undeserving of the position, even though I've well earned it. I underestimate myself and procrastinate because I'm scared I'm going to mess up. Everybody makes mistakes, and I know that. But I'm so scared of making them. I'm so scared of people thinking ill of me.

    I want to know why I self-sabotage in not taking my antidepressant for days on end and thus experiencing withdrawal symptoms (nausea, nightmares, depressive episodes, anger). I have ADHD so I sometimes forget to take my meds, but the only other reason I don’t take them is because of self-sabotage. And I feel like I need to find the reason for this to be able to stop sabotaging because each time I go to my doctor I can’t tell her if the med relieves my depression or not since I haven’t taken it consistently enough to even know if it works for me. I’ve been on this med for 11 months, yet I still have side effects (notably emotional flatlining...I don’t feel the sorrow or dread of my depression, but don’t feel lasting joy, either)

    I have few friends because I self sabotage myself by driving them away, feeling that I am not worthy of their friendship. It's also why I still am a virgin. I have had multiple, multiple chances at sex, but I become afraid of it that I intentionally do what I can to ensure it doesn't happen. And when the sex doesn't happen, because I sabatoged the effort, I blame myself, telling myself that I am not worthy, that I will always be alone, and that no one cares for me. It's a horrible cycle that has left me feeling numb, like an out of body experience.

    I'm not sure why but I don't believe in "self-sabotage". I feel like it's a term and a theory made to try to englobe our dysfunctions, to try to make the problems simpler. But I feel like the truth is that every "self-sabotage" we do to ourselves its a consequence to a lack of abilities, maturity and other factors. But nothing intentioned. They can be seen as just failures that we don't understand.

    • @danielbarrera8391

      I feel like the problem is more an internal conflict than it is something that needs to be "fixed" with therapy.
      Maybe it's better to see there's a part of you that doesn't want whatever it is you're sabotaging anyway.
      Like in my own situation people can say it's "trauma" causing me to push people away when in reality there is a feeling underneath that is saying "I don't want these relationships anyway."
      Or career or partner or whatever.
      I don't like the idea of trying to use cognitive stuff to try to force thoughts to be different. It almost feels like a form of self harm.
      Like do I really want a career that could potentially go against my own desires for closeness with someone?
      Or would you want a career that also might be against your own value and belief system?
      There's more to it than what self help tries to preach.
      We don't do this without good reason.
      It should be seen as an element of ourselves that is actually trying to protect us.

    • @danielbarrera8391
      @danielbarrera8391 Рік тому +1

      And in the case of relationships do you really want to be with someone who only wants you for x y or z reason?
      Like this person only wants me at my best but not my worst? And then sends me to therapy for not "acting right"?
      That's damn hurtful and if anything that gets in the way of creating a good relationship with closeness and intimacy.
      You can't get closeness by pushing aspects of someone or yourself away.
      It doesn't compute...
      But also most relationships in the world are a problem because of these kind of splits.
      It's like if you're an environmentalist who deeply feels for the environment and try to make something work with someone who has no problems destroying it.
      Wouldn't you sabotage that relationship?
      Or a relationship that someone only wants you for the money but doesn't even put that out there.
      Without communicating these underlying truths relationships are not safe.

    According to the National Science Foundation, 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of our thoughts are repetitive. We replay negative loops and have a negative narrative in heads and although we may not always be the one saying it because alot of it goes unconsciously, we are the one who hears it. Change your narrative. An average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. If we repeat those negative thoughts, we think negative way more than we think positive thoughts. The quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
    The human brain has a natural tendency to give weight to (and remember) negative experiences or interactions more than positive ones-they stand out more. Psychologists refer to this as negativity bias. “Our brains are wired to scout for the bad stuff” and fixate on the threat, says psychologist and author Rick Hanson.
