Magnet For Trouble?

[Abbi]

I think its true...I think especially with early childhood trauma...being susceptible to victimization is the only "normal" I knew. I had a therapist once that I bluntly asked do I have a tattoo on my forehead that says 'hurt me'; her reply was its a clear as day to predators...so yes. This is why discernment is so important...which I have concluded I have -0- discernment ability so I isolate.
Sometimes my concern is that I bring it out in people?!? Maybe that is just my paranoia or self-blame.

Sometimes I've been drawn to the most troublesome person in the crowded room at the same time I can pick up the "sleaze factor" and when to stay away. Now I know when to stay away, my gut knows, my experience tells me. The quiet of my self feels it - always has, only now I have choices - pick a fight, tell them "I know who are", or walk away.

Choices I've always had, sometimes taken, other times times been unable to.

do I have a tattoo on my forehead that says 'hurt me';

That's exactly it, even just random people want to have a go. I either hide away or get all aggressive to defend myself. Then I get angry at myself for allowing other people to dictate my life.

Guess I will get there eventually with therapy lol
