ABOUT
Why does one text send me spiraling for days? Why do I apologize even when it's not my fault? Why do I need everyone to like me?
Why am I like this?
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. These frustrating patterns of people-pleasing, questioning your worth, avoidance, or reactivity—what Sabrina Zohar calls your Bullshit Blueprint—are actually survival strategies your body learned to keep you safe. But as she reveals, they're also keeping you from the things you truly want.
With her signature unfiltered advice rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and nervous system work, Why Am I Like This? shows you how to create a new, BS-free blueprint for love and life, one based on self-trust and conscious choice instead of outdated patterns of behavior.
But you can’t dismantle what you don’t understand. Sharing stories from her coaching work and own, raw journey of unraveling and rebuilding, Sabrina walks you step-by-step through the process of rewiring the unconscious programming that’s keeping you stuck, including:
- How your attachment style, childhood wounds, and core beliefs form your unique Bullshit Blueprint
- The four survival responses and how they secretly drive your behavior
- How to break the toxic cycles of feeling “too much,” “not enough,” or impossible to love
- Why the dating myths we’ve been taught are actually making us reject people who could be good for us
- Practical tools to regulate your emotions, set boundaries, and finally choose yourself
Sabrina doesn’t just give you tools, she gives it to you straight: You don’t have to keep abandoning yourself. You can stop repeating the past and start showing up more authentically and consciously in your relationships. Watch how that changes everything.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
