The Psychology of Self Sabotage - Why We Sabotage Ourselves

Why do we self-sabotage? In this video, we take a closer look at the psychology of self sabotage. This is a type of behavior that we do to ourselves that is ultimately counterproductive. It often involves doing things that we know are bad for us and our relationships or that will make our situation worse.

Self-sabotaging behaviors can be hard to recognize, but the consequences are real. You may think you're just being lazy or weak, but the truth is that there's actually a psychological reason why you might be doing this. So, if you want to figure out the reason for your self-sabotaging behaviors, bad habits, and negative thinking, watch this video.

Once you know what they are, you'll be able to start working on them and making changes for the better!

For me, it's low self-esteem, insecurity, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, lack of motivation, procrastination, stressed out, overwhelmed, then feeling hopeless and sometimes depressed.

I was a sexually abused child for years . I was always told I was a failure & would accomplish nothing . I was not good at anything & of absolutely no value .
I ignored all of this & worked hard & trusted my instincts. I knew there would be a payoff if I ignored the hate, believed in myself & made the effort . Now that I am retired I am the success in my family & old small town . I am held up as an example .
Whenever I heard “ no “, “!you’ll never be able to …..” ; my response was to work harder, trust my natural gifts & think, ” just watch me .”
It would have been easy to hate myself & give in to the naysayers; but, I trusted that my happiness existed in myself .

My biggest one is fear of losing any success or other good things I've earned. It's happened before and messed with me badly.

I was grown up in such a toxic environment that when good stuff happens I feel like it’s too good to be true, so I tend to think there must be a catch. Especially, when it comes to dating people. I do have low-self esteem & I have conflicting thoughts that I know aren’t true, but my mind is trying to protect me, so the opposing thoughts are so dumb, but still overwhelms me.

"Inconsistent or conflicting thoughts" is a major one for me because it's hardest to notice in that trying to conform by doing what's right and acceptable to others I lose sight of my own beliefs, feelings and interests. The result being I mess up trying to reconcile the irreconcilable. Thanks for another "Brainy (and bitesized) Dose" of wisdom and insight, it was a good watch as

I have a feeling this is going to be one hard healing long journey but its worth taking. Its costing me things.

Why no one is talking about how high quality and shooting voice this man has love it! Tnx for the valuable video learned a lot from it

[EmbraceTheStruggle]

In essence, I think narcissistic behavior gets mistaken greatly for self sabotage and I really just think it boils down to identifying with yourself in ways that are in proper congruence with your core values and belief system. It also comes down to being assertive within your own abilities and realizing that a balanced routine and having personal time to yourself is never a bad thing; but at the same time to build proper habits.

[aliganyiraherbert]

Self sabotage is compromising on your own truth and value set. We live in a very unfair and corrupted world today that manipulatively and unconsciously demands us to compromise. It's the decisions and choices we make that defines us who we are.

Incredibly insightful video! Thanks for this!

[ashleyj]

Great video! Wish there was more solutions to help change the mind set of self sabotage.

[Thesmokingman]

I'm working on these beliefs right now.

[EmbraceTheStruggle]

Wow. I've been waiting for a vid like this, and a lot of what was described in this vid summed me up when I was younger. I still have self-doubt every now and then but I don't feel it's as bad as it used to be.

“Our greatest fear is not that we will fail. Our greatest fear is that we will be successful beyond our wildest dreams. It is our light, not out darkness, that most frightens us.”

Wooow...
Thank you for uploading nice one....

Very interesting

[retard_activated]

Excellent list, B.D.! I know this will help a lot of people open their eyes! 💖

[RichardHernandez-mqkw]

i don't deserve to have success, that's the one for me I feel bad for having or getting more then what someone else has because it's "unfair" for them and we didn't start on fair ground. They always used it against me like a bullet to bring me down.

[nirvanafreedom]

When I tried I met with failures leading me to confidence in myself. Whenever I organised my life and everything is going well, after sometimes I feel low, I sabotage myself then I will say to myself I must reorganised my life and restart with my routines. Actually I I succeed to do so then it start again the self sabotage. How to heal and stop doing so? Why am I like this?

[OKIEBUD]

Think self sabotage is a dangerous emotion of some form of control I drank everyday for 30 years and first month of sobriety I knew self sabotage was a root of my addiction … it gave me a gitty feeling of control but didn’t give it a chance… 5 years sober

[ashleygrenstone]

yeesh when it's not a lack of belief in myself it's a fear of success.... wait if I don't believe in myself then no wonder I'm scared of success. I'm scared people will find out I'm hollow and and easy to break. So maybe my belief that I'm brittle is making me afraid to take on opportunities
