Before I delve into today's topic. I would like to apologize to everyone whose article I didn't visit or read, work days are always tasking filled with a lot schedule. especially Mondays. I hope you bear with me

Today's write-up

There's a saying that goes,

"If I can't have it, then neither can you."

This mentality is often referred to as the crab mentality. The saying "crab mentality" comes from the observation of crabs in a bucket. The crabs are all trying to escape, but as soon as one of them manages to climb to the top of the bucket, the others pull it back down instead of working together to escape.

This metaphor is often used to describe a behaviour that is noticable in some humans. The basic idea behind crab mentality is that if someone else succeeds, then it means that you have failed.

Crab mentality is a term used to describe a negative, selfish mindset in which people try to pull others down to themselves. This type of thinking is counterproductive and does nothing but hold people back. This way of thinking often limits people and keeps them from achieving their goals.

For example, the way people behave when they're jealous of someone else's success. Instead of working hard to achieve their own goals, they try to drag the other person down.

This way of thinking is often caused by envy or resentment of others. When we have the crab mentality, we see success as a zero-sum game, where if someone else succeeds, then we lose.

It's easy to understand where this mentality comes from. We're constantly told that there's not enough room at the top, and that if someone else succeeds, it means we've failed. But when we subscribe to the crab mentality, we're actually doing ourselves a disservice. We're putting a cap on our own potential and limiting our ability to achieve great things

The crab mentality is a toxic way of thinking and it is a mentality of scarcity and negativity, that can hold us back from achieving our dreams. We need to break free from this mindset and focus on our own success.

When we focus on others instead of ourselves, we limit our own possibilities. We become resentful of others' successes and we stop trying to improve ourselves. We also lose sight of the fact that we're all in this together and that we can help each other succeed

In conclusion

The crab mentality is a self-defeating way of thinking that limits us from achieving our potential. This way of thinking can hold us back from achieving our goals and reaching our full potential and it's something that we need to get rid of if we ever want to progress as a society.

The crab mentality is the idea that if someone else succeeds, then that success somehow takes away from our own. It's a self-defeating way of thinking that limits us from achieving our potential.

We need to start lifting each other up, instead of tearing each other down. We need to support one another's successes, not envy them.

Let's work together to achieve great things, and let's eliminate the crab mentality from our lives once and for all.

Let's work to replace the crab mentality with a more positive and constructive way of thinking that will help us reach our full potential.

Gratitude

It is a part of our culture, the Filipinos, it is a very primitive mentality lol. But on a positive note, we also have this trait "bayanihan" or doing things together to achieve a common goal.

I first encounter the term "crab mentality "when I was in second year highschool . And I conclude that this is so common in our country. Those people who are doing this are those who are already below you. That's why being alone in struggling is better.

There are many of us who are cherishing this narrow mentality, no matter how much we try we can't remove this mentality from our minds. Instead of wasting our time and feeling envy with other's success if we start to work hard then we will surely get success.
