....if we expand on the fat people scenario.... these poor fat bastards in their speedos never get the hot babe tanning on the beach.... and why is that? Bad luck dude.... brought on by a lack of confidence due to a deep "knowing" that in all reality, they're a fat disgusting blob. They may try to project themselves like anyone else, but it's usually false and weak at best because their subconcious is telling them that they know better.
hence, subconcious self-manipulation of frame-of-mind. He's doing it to himself, yet there's nothing immediate that he can do about it to fix it. His "knowing" of the facts is causing his outward life to be an endless train of bad luck, yet it is completely self-generated and contained..... he can indeed correct this and eliminate the bad luck, but only by either correcting the physical issue that is plaguing his subconcious, or by a realization/awareness of the subconscious processes at work on him.
