You are not afraid of failure, you may be afraid of transformation. Self-sabotage is a misguided survival mechanism designed to keep you safe in familiar chaos, not a sign of weakness.
Self-sabotage is often a protective response that appears when you hold coexisting but conflicting needs around change.
Humans tend to seek what feels familiar, which is why healthier or happier circumstances can feel unsettling until we adjust to them.
Positive life changes can create adjustment shock, so newfound calm may feel uncomfortable if you are used to chaos.
