302 Self-handicapping
from Truth Untangled · host Bob Anders, Ph.D.
Human beings often like to believe that when things go wrong, it is because of forces outside their control. Yet one of the most common and least acknowledged obstacles to success is internal. Many people, often without realizing it, actively undermine their own progress. Psychologists describe this behavior as self-handicapping, and it is far more common than most would care to admit.
