Self-handicapping is a behavior where individuals create obstacles or excuses to set themselves up for potential failure in order to protect their self-esteem. This pattern allows individuals to attribute poor performance to external factors rather than their own abilities, in turn preserving their self-image. Examples include procrastination, substance abuse, or feigning illness before a competition or test.
