I used to think that I should drink olive oil to gain weight. I want to gain weight and 100g of olive oil equals roughly 800kcal. The problem is that I upped the amount I drank to fast over the days and felt nauseous.
As a result my body learned to feel nauseous when drinking olive oil and I can now drink less than I could before I tried to train myself to drink it.
The same thing is also possible with social goals. Some people can develop a phobia if you are under too much stress. Another thing that could happen is that they surpress emotions which isn't that healthy.
If those goals are to low than you could look into medium sized goals that can be achieved with a medium sized contract.
