Two-Thirds of People Experience Relationship Self-Sabotage, Study Finds

Why You’re Obsessed, Anxious, & Still Single - Mercedes Coffman - #1092
What was said
"I saw some research suggesting that relationship self-sabotage affects about 63% of people at some point. 2021 study published in the Journal of Couples and Relationship Therapy based on interviews with about 700 people found that the most common drivers were fear of getting hurt, fear of rejection, and low self-esteem."
New research reveals the majority of people engage in relationship self-sabotage driven by fear of rejection and low self-esteem, with modern ghosting culture normalizing behavior that perpetuates these fears and creates a cycle of avoidance.
