My biggest concern here is the impact this kind of mindset and behavior has on not just the person who is self sabotaging but those nearest to them. From personal experience I’ve had to cut off someone so close to me because his very dire outlook on life started to creep into my space and it took me a long time to understand that some people cannot be helped and as much as it will hurt to cut them out of your life, it is healthier for you in the long run.

Thank you for sharing this was quite an insightful post.
