Is there really such a thing as self-sabotage? I wonder. There are definitely those times when behavior is counterproductive. This idea of intentionally working against one's own interest is an obvious sign of confusion and even disorientation.
When walking in the woods at dusk, vision may be restricted as the trail starts to lose its familiarity; easier to forget the sequence of turns or landmarks. Perhaps the times when our behavior becomes counterproductive, is merely a dimming of clarity; a temporary lapse in the sequencing of reassuring landmarks.
Looking to others for validation can be precarious, as they may already have a full plate to worry about. There are many ways of learning to validate ourselves. If we gave ourselves more credit, instead of waiting for it, maybe our behavior would stay productive more often.
