Short YouTube monologue (creator/uploader: Kyle Ford) framing self-sabotage as a form of avoidance driven by fear. The speaker notes many people default to pessimistic, catastrophic thinking (e.g., "I'm not going to handle this well"), and encourages reframing toward expecting that things will work out and that one can be fine.
Self sabotage is actually our cowardly way of trying to avoid the outcome, which we're afraid of. Many people do struggle with pessimism more than what they think. So if your first thought is I'm not going to handle this well, or what if this happens and it's all catastrophic thinking, that's something to really look at because that is not the way that you were designed to be. So why isn't your go to this is going to work out well and I'm going to be fine.
