Self-Sabotage.

So many times I know exactly what needs to be done, and for a reason I can't identify, I do not take that action. I did this in school and struggle with it now. The frustrating part is that I cannot verbalize the reason why I do this to myself. It's like there is a silent part of me actively working against what I want.

Anyone with knowledge in psychology know what sort of deep-seated issues might cause this seemingly reason-less behavior? Has anyone experienced similar things and been able to work through it?

It seems like the closer I get to success, the more anxiety I feel.


In before "F*cking do it" and "Zip up your cunt". Looking for discussion of what's going on from a psychology aspect and to better understand myself, not for an a$$-kicking.
