why do i keep trying

[Deleted Member 38468]

with things that don’t benefit me
it’s like denial in a way?, my brain tells me “there will def be a different outcome, keep trying” but like deep down i know there won’t be, it’s cursed to be the same
i don’t understand, i don’t expect anything in return rlly but when the outcome is the same it makes me sad

Sounds like sunk-cost fallacy and a mix of something else.

you are self destructive ping-pong

It’s the paradox of hope you walk the same path knowing it leads nowhere, yet the possibility of a different ending seduces you into returning.The sorrow comes not from the failure, but from watching yourself believe again. And finishing with a quote by my dear old friend.

Emotional investment

You’ve already invested effort (don’t want it wasted)

if you keep trying the same thing over and over again and the result is the same every time it might be a sign to change your approach. do smth differently yk
