Right, but after enough failures the defeat becomes demoralizing. I'm not saying it isn't self-destructive, but human nature frequently is.

When I give people dating app advice, I tell them if they don't have the emotional resources to full-ass it, delete the app. Half-assing it is likely going to make things worse.

But humans aren't rational creatures.
