Single most important takeaway
“There’s no group that isn’t touched by self-sabotage in one way or another. It’s such a common issue, but few people understand how self-sabotage works in their minds and, ultimately, their lives. To understand how to defeat it, you have to study it and understand it, inside and out.”

Creating Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
Within the worlds of self-sabotage, we hold ourselves back in many different ways and create many different outcomes for ourselves. This sabotage category looks at those who set up self-fulfilling prophecies: The Procrastinator, The Overthinker, and The Assumer:
The Procrastinator is someone who is constantly putting things off and waiting until the last possible minute. This behavior wastes time or creates unproductive time, sets them up to believe they can only achieve by putting things off and never lets them get ahead.
The Overthinker thinks everything to death, in a way that puts extreme emphasis on the negative. Even something small can turn into a spiral of anxious thoughts. This behavior strips their confidence and creates constant self-doubt, overfocuses them on the negative and sets up a self-fulfilling prophecy. It forces them to need control and certainty.
The Assumer is someone who’s always predicting the future and acting on those predictions before seeing if they come true. They decide how they are going to feel, what is going to happen and how people are going to react before even entering into a situation. It prevents them from taking action and keeps them stuck. It closes them off to new opportunities, and never allows them to prove themselves wrong.
