Question

Есть текст, по нему нужно заполнить пропуски в другом тексте: Psychologist: Okay, Nancy. Last week, we discussed your dissatisfaction with your job.

Patient: Right. I just feel like I can't do well in that environment.

Psychologist: I believe there are a couple of factors affecting you. For one, you're relying too much on social comparison.

Patient: What does that mean?

Psychologist: You always compare your success to your coworkers' success. In particular, you focus too much on Tim.

Patient: But Tim always does so well. I don't understand why he gets so much attention.

Psychologist: Well, analyzing Tim isn't helping you right now. You need to focus on your own work.

Patient: Okay, I guess you have a point. After all, he doesn't even work in my department.

Psychologist: Right. Now, the other problem is a little trickier. I think I see some self-handicapping in your behavior.

Patient: Self-handicapping? You mean, I'm stopping myself from succeeding?

Psychologist: That's exactly right. You keep saying that you don't care about this job.

Patient: I don't. How is that preventing my success?

Psychologist: I believe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you change your attitude, it might improve your performance.
