SELF SABOTAGE & DISENGAGEMENT @WORK
Globally, 62% of workers are not engaged and 15% are actively disengaged. Only 34% describe themselves as thriving, while 58% are struggling and 8% are suffering. Disengaged employees cost the global economy a staggering $8.8 trillion annually — 9% of global GDP. The Lancet

Career non-fulfillment and entrepreneurial self-sabotage are staggering:
Workforce-Level Non-Realization:
In 2024, U.S. employee engagement fell to its lowest level in a decade: only 31% of employees are engaged. The engagement decline was sharpest among workers under 35, with Gen Z five points less engaged than the previous year. The key elements that declined most sharply were all relational in nature: feeling cared about at work (down to 39%), receiving encouragement for development (down to 30%), and having clarity of expectations (down to 46%). Ballard Brief
A January 2025 report found that 69% of U.S. employees say their skills aren't being fully realized in their current roles. Of those who feel consistently under-utilized, 77% said it has slowed their career progression, and nearly three-quarters said they'd look for a new job — yet most don't leave, staying stuck in underperformance.

Up to 47% of entrepreneurs experience it, directly affecting their business decisions. IWPR

78% of business leaders have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their careers. Searches for imposter syndrome surged 75% in 2024 alone, indicating an accelerating crisis of internal self-worth at the leadership level. Statista

Imposter syndrome correlates directly with increased workplace stress, burnout, and decreased job performance. People with imposter syndrome aggressively pursue achievement while being unable to internalize recognition when success is achieved — a pattern characteristic of anxious and disorganized attachment styles.

FEAR OF FAILURE

Among those who already identified good opportunities to start a business, 47% still would not act on them due to fear. The proportion of economies where fear of failure stops the majority of would-be entrepreneurs rose from 68% to 84% of all economies between 2019 and 2024. National Alliance to End Homelessness

As many as 4.2 million youth and young adults experience homelessness in the United States each year — approximately 1 in 30 youth ages 13–17 and 1 in 10 young adults ages 18–25. Youth.gov

In 2024, homelessness among families with children rose 39.4% and among unaccompanied youth rose 10% — the second consecutive year of dramatic increases. Children under 18 experienced the largest single-year increase in homelessness of any age group (33%). SchoolHouse Connection

Youth homelessness is most often rooted in family conflict. Contributing factors include abuse, neglect, abandonment, and involvement in child welfare and juvenile justice systems. National Alliance to End Homelessness

Youth who run from homes flee environments of domestic violence, sexual or physical abuse, and addiction — only to find the same dynamics playing out on the streets, leading to further victimization.

SUBSTANCE ADDICTION

Children who grew up witnessing domestic violence are 6 times more likely to commit suicide and 50 times more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol.

Victims of domestic violence are at higher risk for developing addictions to alcohol, tobacco, or drugs, as well as suffering PTSD, anxiety, hypertension, cancer, and cardiovascular disease

​

The highest rate of Substance Use Disorder (27.1%) is found among young adults ages 18–25 — the same demographic most likely to carry unresolved attachment wounds into adulthood. The percentage with a drug use disorder in the past year was also highest in this age group at 18.0%. The Jed Foundation

Of women in the USA and more than 2 in 5 men report experiencing intimate partner violence at some point in their lifetime.

ABUSE

More than 16 million people in the U.S. suffer from intimate partner abuse per year — that's 32 people every single minute. Break The Cycle

Intimate partners are responsible for nearly 50% of female homicides and 10% of male homicides in the U.S. In 2021, of approximately 4,970 female murder victims, 34% were killed by an intimate partner. When an abusive partner has a firearm, the risk of the survivor being killed is five times higher. Women On Guard
