Your mindset, specifically the way you think about problems in life, is keeping you poor, fat, and stupid, and will continue to do so for the rest of your life, unless of course, you do something about it.
Maybe you wanted to achieve something like; finding a romantic partner, getting an athletic body, making more money, or receiving better grades, and you might've tried really, really hard, but you didn't manage to succeed.
And because of the setbacks and failures you experienced, you gave up on trying altogether.
But the worst of all is that you ended up with a belief that you were simply not good enough.
If you believe you're bad at math, then you're already expecting to get bad grades there, so you put in less effort to study, and then when you do get those bad grades, it reinforces your identity and your belief that you're bad at math.
And you subconsciously begin to resist taking actions that don't align with what you believe your identity to be.
But this is nothing more than a downward spiral of learned helplessness.
