self-defeating
形容某种做法、行动或策略本身就包含导致失败的因素，越这样做越难达到原本的目的。
💡 记忆钩子
把它想成“自己给自己挖坑”：表面上是在解决问题或追求目标，实际做法却把成功的路堵住，因此行动的过程本身就走向失败。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 自毁目标的；适得其反的📖 指一种做法表面上为了实现某个目标，却因为自身包含的问题而把目标推远，甚至直接导致失败；重点是“自己造成失败”，不是单纯没有成功。💡 常用“self-defeating + 行动、策略、政策”等名词，或说“某种做法 is self-defeating”。它多用于分析和批评，适合说明手段与目的相冲突的情况。不要只在结果失败时使用；如果失败是外部原因造成的，通常不说 self-defeating。Cutting off your nose to spite your face is self-defeating.为了赌气而伤害自己，实在是自毁目标的做法。
