BLUF

It is important to avoid a victim mentality, self-pity, and constant comparison. Instead, practice gratitude, delay gratification, and consider others’ needs. These shifts foster resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being while reducing anxiety and negativity.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explain five behaviours—such as victim mentality and self-comparison—that negatively impact mental health.
  • Evaluate how avoiding self-pity, and focusing on long-term goals, contribute to confidence and improved mental health.
  • Demonstrate practical approaches to reduce harmful behaviours, such as shifting focus from comparison to personal growth.
