I know that I have previously posted a thread about physical self-harm, but this one is intended to broaden the theme, as self-abuse is not limited to bodily manifestations.
Where would one look for recurring patterns of self-sabotage? For example, the sort of scenario where one can be close to success, or even momentarily attain it, only to deliberately, willfully (and somewhat uncontrollably) strip it from oneself? These may be subtle or profound tendencies and could range from self-defeatist attitudes (that passively subvert one's efforts) to the more overt self-sabotaging actions (e.g. quitting a job where you're successful or leaving a partner you love for no good reason, etc).
I know this is a broad and complex topic that undoubtedly entails many variant influences (reflecting nuances between one chart and the next), but has anyone detected any patterns that may be of interest? If you are predisposed to any such tendency (and willing to share), which elements in your chart do you believe this can be attributed?
