How can I screw this up?
Nobody works against themselves.
Seriously, when was the last time you said to yourself, âHow can I screw this up?â
Never. Itâs absurd.
Thatâs why Jesus mocks the Pharisees for accusing Him of doing that in todayâs Gospel.
Because no one does that. At least not intentionally.
But, if weâre honest, all of us do exactly that. At different points, all of us do things that work against us. Without meaning to, you and I drift into habits that in fact work against our peace, our growth, our relationship with God.
What makes this hard is that when we start that drift into a habit thatâs going to work against us, thereâs almost never a clue that weâre headed off in the wrong direction. Or if there is one, itâs too subtle for us to notice.
And there are almost never signposts along the way that tell us weâre headed in the wrong direction. At least not that we notice.
Until one day, often during a crisis, we suddenly realize how far weâve drifted. And then wonder how we got there.
Whether itâs big things or small things, for a lot of us, itâs a cycle that weâll repeat over and over.
If youâre not where you want to be. If youâre missing something you used to have. If you donât have the peace that comes from a healthy, loving relationship with God.
Then today, take the time to make an inventory of what youâre doing.
For everything that youâre doing (whether itâs intentional or something you just kind of do without thinking) ask this question, âIs this bringing me peace, is this bringing me closer to God?â
You donât have to tell anyone about it, this is just for you. So you can be brutally honest with yourself. And you should.
Because if you are, youâll discover things that youâre doing that are holding you back that you donât even know about. Things that are coming between you and God.
Once you do, take the first step to rob them of their power to hold you back. But donât do it alone. Recognize them for what they are. Then take them to God in prayer.
And be ready for a gentle, patient response. From the One who will be overjoyed to tackle them with you.

evolution is too slow
modern society has evolved at a pace faster than our brains and instincts can keep up with. we are living in a world that our ancient survival instincts werenât designed for. these outdated instincts often sabotage us for no good reason.
if you were outcast from your tribe, you were more likely to starve or fall victim to predators. in that world, fear of rejection and the drive to conform made sense. these instincts helped us fit in, avoid conflict, and increase our chances of survival and reproduction. yet the same brain processes continue today and punishes us for the small and stupid stuff as hard as it did in the age of survival so we get depressed and shit? fuck you stupid brain and hormones and neurotransmitters.
it's like first you felt panic because you had no food. this made sense ofc, you gotta move your ass and find some. but now you will panic because somebody publicly teased you a bit? the same punishment for these two things? same depression if you can't find food after panic and if you can't reply the teaser with a good comeback?
hello. evolution! speed the hell up and properly adapt! ease up on your punishment for small things. fucking overreacting bitch.
so for these reasons i have zero sympathy for humanity or "the natural"... natural can come kiss my ass. we should alter it. we should change our brain chemicals artificially to get rid of cuntly thoughs and obssessions and irrationalities.
imagine with a chip or whatever you could drop your cortisol levels by a percentage. you are stressed so much during job interviews? crank it up to %90 cortisol blockage.
all your friends having fun time at karaoke party but you are terrified? why? something obviously must be silenced in your brain.

I found myself going through this with someone who had been in an abusive relationship before coming into contact with me. They would tell me things like "they loved me" and other similar things, only not to have their behavior reflect such a thing. Distance was necessary despite the attachment.

ok so i want to bottle the cider i made in November
and i know i have these nice ceramic bottles from abbey ale
looked and found a bunch
only thing is
they're apparently not empty
and i can't remember when N made this beer, we hopped it with fir tips as an experiment
at the time it was pretty harsh
but
i tasted it
it actually tastes good
i only tasted, "taster style" spit it out & rinse mouth
then i looked on the web and everything i read says "old beer won't make you sick because the hops and alcohol keep things from growing in it"
so i tasted more and swallowed a couple sips
i mean this stuff is good, i've had much worse at a number of breweries
but the question is

one less obvious way one can self-sabotage:
give yourself impossible to meet deadlines, making the task feel very daunting. and then shame because you (obv.) canât make it, then procrastinate/give up completing the self-sabotage.
better:
give yourself realistic timeframes to do tasks/work. take your time, you donât have to work quickly, stressed or ahead of schedule. divide tasks into smaller parts that can be worked on in set time frames and completed, giving yourself a sense of completion. you donât have to finish all at once.

âWhat the fuck did you people do to me?â I demanded. âWe loved you,â said the teenager. âThatâs all. The rest, you did to yourself.â

GIRL HELP I NEED A PEP-TALK
Got a job offer. It's got potential for career growth but I don't have to stick around if it sucks. I'm qualified. I literally have a paper that says I know what I'm doing. I've been told many times I'm good at it, by lots of different people. I want to run and hide and ruin it for myself before I ruin it by actually messing up.
Any advice on how to stop self-sabotaging?

Self-Sabotage
(for someone whoâs their own worst enemy)
Do you want to be miserable?
Of course not. No one does.
Still, there are people whose actions say something different. People whose lives tell a different story.
People who â regardless of what they may say â apparently do want to be miserable.
Given their consistent efforts to sabotage their own happiness.
The key to receiving Godâs best for our lives â even in the midst of the hardest things in life â is to quit comparing whatâs going on in our lives to someone elseâs life. Or some imagined version of our own.
And instead to live with a mind and heart open to God. With an attitude of âSpeak Lord, your servant is listening.â
The most effective way to avoid Godâs best for your life?
Self-sabotage. By becoming the accusers in todayâs Gospel.
Criticize. Everything.
Pick it apart. Find something that it lacks.
Pick them apart. Find something they didnât do right. Or didnât do enough.
Donât worry if the faults arenât immediately obvious.
Keep at it. If you look hard enough, youâll find something.
If you stay focused on finding the worst, you wonât be disappointed.
Armed with their imperfections, itâs time to accuse.
Donât just provide information. Revel in it.
This is your moment to shine. Take them down. As publicly as possible.
Then do it all again.
Of course, you will become stunted, both emotionally and spiritually. Youâll appreciate even the best things in life less and less. Youâll find it harder and harder to have healthy relationships. Youâll close yourself off from everyone, including God.
But thatâs what you wanted, right?
Because thatâs the payout for self-sabotage, making yourself truly miserable.
If thatâs not what you want, then why are you doing it?

Let him go. Detach from him now. So it won't hurt. You. Especially him. He doesn't deserve what you put him through.
He doesn't.
Keep away, shut down, make him hate you, make him not want you anymore.
Tell him he deserves better. Tell him.
Tell him he can do better. Stop wasting his time.
you wasted his time. he didn't deserve that. you don't deserve him.
i don't deserve him.

This... All too relatable. After years of being in a traumatizing environment and having a lot of old triggers that I didn't even know about be reactivated, I find myself doing nothing but self-sabotaging in both arenas of my life. I am always frustrated by it because I know that I am capable of so much more and that I have worked for so much more. But, I just continue to find that it's difficult to overcome.

He brings his foo down hard His heavy black boots weighing onto my fingers Turning bones into dangerous splinters He's laughing as I'm breaking bones tearing tendons And I stare at him wearing a smile
Betrayal makes the whole world shine new.
His laughter's in the blood and it makes me realize I'm in love with the pain And hate despair destruction
I'm not healthy and neither are my relationships
