Surely, in every person’s environment there are people who constantly make the same mistakes.
You can constantly give them advice and support, but all this does not bring any results.
Why do people make the same mistakes?
Prefrontal cortex
The surprising fact is that the prefrontal cortex does not always form as it should: it is believed that at 25 it is already completely ready.
It is this part of the brain that is responsible for data analysis, forecasting, and the ability to think through actions before committing them.
Neural connections
They are responsible for the transmission of information in general and ensure the correct functioning of the brain. If a person constantly makes the same mistakes, this indicates weak neural connections or an insufficient number of them.
Secondary benefit
It is worth remembering that sometimes people simply “admit” mistakes, but they commit actions intentionally, fully aware of the consequences.
For example, a husband promises his wife not to cheat anymore, but again and again he "makes a mistake." In most cases, this position is simply convenient for him, and the prefrontal cortex with neural connections will have nothing to do with it.
