Crab mentality - do you have it?

What is crab mentality?

This way of thinking is also known as crabs in a bucket or crabs in a basket mentality.

In more simpler definition it goes something like- if I can't have it, neither can you.

If you happen to observe crabs that are trap in a bucket, you will notice that everytime a crab tries to escape its effort will end up in vain, the reason? Other crabs in their quest to escape will pull the poor crab on the top and then the same process happen again and again with the end result of not any single crab having the luck to escape the bucket!

Metaphorically speaking we have developed a crab mentality if we are preventing someone from achieving something because you are jealous and envious!

Instead of giving commendations or giving assistance if you have a crab mentality you will purposely try to bring someone down. And like the crabs in the bucket who could have escaped if they just stop pulling each other down, " your crab mentality will lead you to accomplish nothing"!!!

Why would I have this crab mentality?

If you're weak, you also want others to be as weak as you. Some people are so good in making other people look bad. Weak people build themselves up at the expense of others.

Remember! Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make yours any brighter.
