– What is self-fulfilling prophecy?
In: Other
You think something is true and you subconsciously act in a way that makes it true.
Here’s an example:
I believe I’m bad at maths, I try to do some maths and suck at it and say to myself “Well that’s because I’m bad at maths” when I’m reality it’s more likely that I haven’t studied enough, I don’t have much experience with this area of mathematics, or there’s a function I haven’t learnt yet. Etc.
So generally it’s your own beliefs altering your actions such that your beliefs become founded in fact.
