Life: things are going well, which doesn't usually happen! Nice!
Brain: when things go well, we get hurt. So now I must perform self-sabotage to stop the good things from happening. This will reinforce my prediction that it will all go wrong and make me feel in control that the same old patterns are repeating. If I didn't do this, there's a chance I might be happy, but that's too risky. Guaranteeing misery is easier.

Brains are FUN.
