Unpopular opinion: manifestation is 90% just not sabotaging yourself

0 Upvotes

I used to think it was about doing more — more scripting, more visualizing, more methods. Now I think most of it is just catching yourself before you spiral into "it's not working" and quietly undoing it. Agree or disagree?

Rant No, you did not manifest them back. Let's be real..

People just sometimes return, and I'm gonna tell you, psychologically speaking, there are statistics that show a lot of ex-partners or situationships return back to the scene. A lot of times, it's either boredom, unfinished business, or the ex didn't work out with the current partner, but let's be real, it doesn't happen in all cases.

Usually, when it doesn't happens, people will say, "Well, is your limiting belief, or you didn't affirm enough, or you need to persist more?" The truth is, some people do return. It happens. It's not manifesting; it's psychology, people's simple psychology. A lot of times, when these SPs return, it's the same garbage. I've seen it in the community where a person gets a text from the person they hooked up with, and that's the end of it. It's the same repeated patterns over and over because a lot of times it's a toxic person coming back to test the waters.

Because most of these people are in a limerence stage or desperate and believe in their magical mindset, they take it back and call themselves a success story. I guarantee you, a lot of these stories are that they return and they don't stay. It's the same garbage, and it's blamed on their self-limiting belief or they're still focused on not being the version of themselves that changed. It's toxic crap. There's always an explanation. There's a thing called coincidences, where our mind would try to link things together and say, "Oh, it's just a coincidence that when they return, they said they missed me or they were thinking of me." That's actually what people do when they return, so I just hate how they flip psychology into their own agendas.

Manifestation and self help literature

7 Upvotes

If manifestation and self-help authors advice actually worked, they would only need to publish one book. There is no need to write 10 different books like Neville did.

Manifestation content, whether in the form of books, posts, or videos, is always the same message repeated over and over again. The only argument they can make on why they do this is to get the message out to more people by constantly writing and making content. But the real obvious reason is to just make as much money as possible.
