Do you self sabotage?

I'm so used to being rejected that, I've noticed any time something seems to be going OK. I do something to mess it up.

This then in turn makes situations turn for the worst giving me an excuse to walk away.

I don't want to be this way.
And I am trying to do better.

I had one incident where I lost confidence. I went behind my job recruiters back and tried to negotiate directly with the firm. This has ended badly for me.

@Lanyx Yea thats not always good,
You have to be straight from the start.
The recruiter can be realistic and manage your expectations but yea this always blows up in your face.

@Mellowgirl There is a bit more than meets the eye. The first interview went so well, that the guy invited me for the second one before the first one was finished. This guy was forced to go on vacation, when he came back they postponed on me a few times. I lost my self confidence; had a long-hard think about the alternatives and simply picked the wrong one. Like the french say: "C'est la vive!".
