I mean it can make rational sense that if a person is afraid of not living up to someone's (like an employer) expectations, he or she may do things that sabotage success. On the face of it, it seems pretty irrational to do things that are contrary to being what one might consider successful, but to someone on the outside (a friend or relative) the self sabotaging actions of a person make sense. They are rational, or at least the actions follow one another in a reasonable succession.
