...may be I feel somehow «obligated» to listen all that ? May be I believe it is not polite if I refuse? Do I believe I have the duty of becoming the doormate of some stupid out there?
(1) For me @Chiqui the triggering helplessness and hopelessness types of behaviors that I now act out with self and with others (focusing on me) in my present day life are all learned behaviors from my devastating familial history. I was forced as a little girl and therefore watched and dissociated through most of the severe and dire helpless and hopeless "caregivers" broken, destructive behaviors and thus learned to not only become helpless and hopeless, but to also now in present day seek out to emulate broken "caregivers" in my personal life...and I am also seeking out helplessly and hopelessly extremely malfunctioning broken people to fill my life (oh h*ll to the no!). I'm working on this now...among other things.
(2) As in just recently here in my private life, I am still continuing to attract broken people to me...and am now aware of this, so this is progress...as I am in recovery trying to extricate myself out of helpless and hopeless victim status. I am no longer a victim...my mantra...I am no longer anyone's victim...mantra.
In my very little girl child self, I scarily, terrifyingly watched my mother, father,and other "caregivers" act out right in front of my innocent and vulnerable little girl eyes - their broken, decimated, and sexually, physically and/or in one way or the other vicious maladaptive psychodrama harm-filled lives their fractured and shattered lives right before me. And their self-destructive and mentally mind-blowing victim status' initiated and continued right in front of my impressionable eyes all of the way up and through all of my developmental growth stages ie. infant, child, pub, adolescence, adult, etc.
(3) And I was taught by masters to be the victim, play the victim and to take their sexual, verbal, physical torture for decades and now...here I am post EMDR in the here and now and am realizing how I am still attracting broken and decimated persons to me...as I attempt to extricate myself out from my self-perpetuating victim-status life. Now in ptsd recovery I have the opportunity to stop victim-status behaviors and to stand in my adult (vs. my child ego state) and try and be heard, and also to try and learn now finally how to self-care, etc. Hard...scary. I won't give up!
(4) I feel like a fish out of the freaking water gulping for air on dry (present day) land...and am learning in real time here and now (vs. pre-EMDR was flashing/triggering, numb, dissociated, etc.) how to not allow myself and others to hurt me (child inside of me).
(5) What a f*cking time (at times nightmare) I've been having...this is so f*ucking hard to do.
