Did you know that there is a surprisingly high number of people who do not show up for job interviews, even for highly desirable positions?

Let us look at another example: A young mom looking after kids at home wants to go back to work as she seeks to bring some extra income to the family. Therefore, she needs to return to work. What she wants is to stay home with her children, but she feels obligated to get a job outside the home. Therefore, instead of applying for the perfect position, she applies for jobs that she knows not qualified for or jobs that require hours incompatible with her family's schedule, so she has to turn down the job when offered. Subconsciously, that is her way of ensuring she will not have to leave home, and at least she can say she "tried" to get a job.

Those who self-sabotage may also be afraid of what others will think of them should they accomplish their goals. They might not believe they are worthy of the outcome, so they act in ways that will ensure their failure.

You don't express your ideas in public.

Suppose you are attending a meeting where your work colleagues are also attending, you do not feel confident enough to contribute to the discussion, even though you are sure of the information. Moreover, you will back and watch people bellowing, even if they do not have enough information about the subject. If your behavior of yours continues, you will not be able to get any recognition at your workplace
