@Aldo4 Learned helplessness was discovered when scientists put puppies in a room with an electrified floor, and would activate it any time the puppy tried to do anything for itself. Eventually, the puppies gave up, and simply layed there, and it lasted forever, they didn't get better. Being a person, we can self reprogram, if one has the tools, it's important to get those tools. They can be found in eastern western southern and northern mental and emotional sciences which are usually called spiritual practices.
