How to use "Defeatism" in context?
Defeatism is a deadly mindset that believes that one's own failures are insurmountable and that there is no chance of overcoming them. It can lead to feelings of hopelessness and desperation, which can stunt one's ability to grow and thrive.
If you find yourself feeling defeatist about your own progress or future, it may be time to reconsider your mindset. There is no shame in admitting that you may not be able to achieve everything on your own, and there are plenty of resources available to help you reach your ultimate goal.
Simply put, defeatism stunts your growth and prevents you from reaching your potential.
