Overcome Your Victim Mentality And Start Living A Fuller Life
The victim mentality is really chains that hold us back or conditioning that follows us into every encounter we have. It’s a way of perceiving the world that has us shackled to our past stories and replaying them into every experience we have. Victims have a constant, nagging approach to life – their egos tell them they’re not good enough, not beautiful enough, not smart enough or anything else reinforced by our past. But we can take a different approach to life and learn to live differently, if we give ourselves the chance.
The victim mentality centers on our ego. The ego is the part of the consciousness that psychologists say holds our opinion of our self. When faced with adversity, pain, suffering, and the like, our ego protects us but also can become shattered. The ego makes us believe we are scripted in this tiny box and life must fit into it. It’s obviously false when we look at it like that, but when it’s happening in real-time we often times don’t notice it. It’s our programming and we don’t over analyze our own doings all the time.
But looking over our past stories is really the only way to break out of the scripted act. We find freedom through fully understanding how past experiences shaped us. If we can take a deep, understanding look at the life happenings that sculpted the victim mentality, then we can begin to reshape our lives and move into other actions, other roles.
When we look at our stories, we need to dissect them, pull them apart at their seams, and really get an understanding of how they shaped us. And then comes the hard part. We have to forgive ourselves of whatever role we played and accept those things as part of our life, but not a part we want to have contributed to our current space, direction, and goals. We can separate ourselves from the quagmire of the past. It just takes a bit of bravery, honesty, and willingness.
