We live in scarcity: never enough, never finished, never admired enough. Comparison feeds the illusion. 📉

The Poverty Loop: When Survival Becomes a Mindset

Poverty isn’t just about empty pockets — it’s also about the mental fences we build.
Sometimes, we say “no” to opportunities long before reality does.

Here’s my deep dive on the overlap between real poverty and psychological poverty — and how survival mode can quietly become a way of life.

Something more folks should talk about:
A hard thing to recognize as trauma survivors is when we're stuck in scarcity mindset.

Scarcity mindset shows up as conserving resources, or as fears and defensive reactions around other people using resources (especially shared resources, but even their own).

We can develop scarcity mindset from past scarcity experiences, but also from traumatic situations (aka, both). Scarcity mindset is also absorbed and exacerbated from people around us.

It is very hard to recover from scarcity mindset without abundant resources — and hard to perceive or recognize abundance when we have it, and still hard to recover.

People who have a scarcity mindset in relationships tend to settle for less than they deserve. This is because they believe that there are not enough good partners out there, and that they have to cling to what they have. A scarcity mindset can lead to low self-esteem, insecurity, and unhealthy behaviors in relationships. #scarcitymindset #relationships #selfesteem https://www.yourtango.com/heartbreak/what-is-scarcity-mindset-relationships?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter

I said to him, "Your thinking is the thinking of an earthworm. An earthworm lives in the ground. It eats earth for its food. Eating and eating, it starts to worry that it will run out of dirt to eat. It is surrounded by dirt. The whole earth is covering its head, but it worries it will run out of dirt." - #AjahnChah
