Victim-mentality - what is it & should i be concerned about it?

[Esterio]

I think it’s one of those things that requires a bit of balance.

Hi Ragdoll Circus
Thanks for your response. I think it does require a bit of balance. I do not like the term it seems to me like it is used to silence people. I don't think I am going to be silenced any more. thanks

From my experience its a dubious term that can be used to blame and shame the victim.

Hi there mumstheword

Thank you for your response. I am sorry for the the trauma caused to you by someone using that term to manipulate you. I am thinking it has no place in our healing process that is positive. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you all for Reading and responding to my thread. I have learned lots, the Ted Talk was very helpful thanks again UnivesalBeing.
