Failure Sets and Avoidance Mentalities

A common mental mechanism in cases of continual denial of positive accord is a descent into 'Failure Sets'. A failure set is a state of mind where a person never expects to succeed in any endeavour which they undertake- they come to accept failure as the norm and accept that they will never succeed at all.

When this mental state has been reached, the person may well then avoid any attempt to do anything challenging, new, or valued and will avoid any act which might result in another failure.
