Signs You Might Be Self-Sabotaging

You find yourself procrastinating more than usual. You’re constantly second-guessing your decisions. You have difficulty accepting compliments or help from others. You feel like you’re not living up to your full potential. You often compare yourself to others and feel like you’re not good enough. You’re reluctant to try new things because of fear of failure. You’re stuck in a pattern of perfectionism. You experience feelings of regret and guilt even when you don’t need to. You give up easily when facing challenges. You regularly put yourself down and have negative self-talk.
