I could go on and on about this particular thought because I have so much to say, but I will just leave a few lines.
There are people who live with the constant victim mentality that it does appear that everything seems to be about them.
No doubts, there are those who have been grossly victimised, but what matters most is how they address these issues that face them.
Do they use these challenges as a ladder to rise out of their situation or do they lie their minds down like a mat and allow the aggressor to walk all over them?
The sad reality is that the World is just what it is. It’s not going to change for you because as long as there’s mankind, there will always be those who don’t care about hurting others.
Rather, you will be the one to change your way of thinking and rise out of that slavery mentality that envelopes your mind.
Once you rise out of such thoughts and break free from victim mode, you actually defeat your aggressor by no longer lending him/her free room in your life.

Great post I use the term “professional victim” to describe individuals like this. I firmly believe life is not about what happens to you, but rather how you choose to respond.

Precisely! If it becomes all about each of us, then we’ll all stew in it and walk around in misery. That sounds dreadful.

People like that are a self-fulfilling prophecy and unfortunately they try to take everybody else with them. My job is filled with them. I try to avoid certain co-workers because they thrive on bad news and seem to get an unnatural thrill from gossip and bad mouthing fellow workers. Weird. Like everyone I’ve had things go wrong in my life, suffered abuse, racism, sexism and ageism but I keep my feelings and emotions to myself. When I go to work or interact within the community I put on my “Game Face” and keep in moving. I do not want to be a plague to others around me.

It’s so wrong to saddle others with one’s plague and your attitude is right. I would also avoid such gossip, bad mouthing gluttons.

Thoughts are like magnets – what you put out you get back. Doesn’t pay to be stuck in the victimhood mentality !
