How I can't understand the good of self-fulfilling prophecies
If I do bad this semester and get scold by the instructors then that will just prove what I thought of them all along."Your proving what I'm saying!",I remember is something that I used to yell to my dad in particular when I argued with them years ago.It's odd how my school counselor says that this negative thinking is a self-fulfilling prophecy.Maybe that's what the "Your proving what I'm saying!" was and is all along.However the way I interpret it (naive and silly though it sounds) is that if I did have a self-fulfilling prophecy ability then good things would happen to me as easily as negative thoughts are an automatic default mode for me.It's like I would have a "magical" ability to actually have things I want to happen,happen.That's obviously not the case though and bad things are ALWAYS much easier to happen whether I like it or not.So much so that I don't really put that much effort and don't see the worth of trying to imagine good things happening.So often I feel like I'm an agent of deconstruction and chaos not one of cumulative building and growth.
