A million thanks for this piece Neera. I have been guilty of self-sabotage to a great extent.. Your line of introspection actually helped me look into the pattern and find solutions. Thanks again :)
I remember one of my brothers saying to me “You’ve changed” and he was right, I was so used to not being my carefree happy self and constantly saying sorry, when I really didn’t need to, that I finally decided I needed to make my husband realise that the world did not revolve around him. My first step to ensuring that our marriage would be a partnership. There was another time though when I didn’t follow through with a degree relating to Early Childhood Literature that I wanted to do, due to thinking there is no way I can work full time and study, and it was true, but I wasn’t game to ask if I could take that year off work. So there you are, we are all guilty of self sabotage at some time in our lives.
