Why do you like to blame your own shortcomings on external factors?

I have no shortcomings, ask yer mom

Your whole reality is a shortcoming.

That's actually beneficial for the self, even if it defies the actual causal relationships sometimes.

Explain.

Attributing successes to the self and shortcomings to external factors maintains a positive self-image, while the opposite is pretty common in depressed individuals. Obviously there's a lot of gray area in between, but research shows that leaning towards the former is more common with people who are happy.

How can you ever learn if you blame failure on external factors?

The best hockey players don't say "oh I didn't get that puck because so and so is faster" they think " I gotta work harder, hire a speed skating coach and become faster "

I voted liberal in our election but Bernie is on an entire new level of Socialist.

Don't think I'd vote for him.
