I have that too! I wouldn't like to call it a lack of self-motivation because that sounds a little harsh to me. I do think it's self-sabotage though - but that shouldn't be the label either, because there has to be a reason behind it. In my case, I suspect the reason is fear: fear that I will get it wrong, or that I will get it right even!

But I think it is simply a form of depression and a lack of self motivation. If I seem to speak knowingly of it, I have been there a few times but I got over the problem. You can too. :-) But you have to want to.Ramblingonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796934980023316493noreply@blogger.com
