Have you ever met someone who complains for hours about all the problems in their lives, then when offered several really great solutions they argue for why they must continue to do what is clearly not working? This is called “arguing for your limitations”.
Like a stuck record, this person is convinced that the world is out to get them, nothing goes their way, all the existing solutions and opportunities failed them (even while they work beautifully for others), and if they change what’s not working for them, they are convinced it will turn out *worse* than it already is.
