Being insensitive and uncaring. By assuming that I will be treated negatively by everyone with whom I come in contact, I throw emotional barriers up so high that no one can see my feelings. This results in my appearing cold and aloof. Assuming that only the worst will happen to me, I do or say things that hamper my growth or success. Failure and loss are the result.
All people are alike.
Things will never change. No one wants me to succeed. There is no sense in my trying to change since the others in my life will never change. This is the way it is supposed to happen to me. No matter what I do, my life never changes for the good.
