Victims! Oppressed! Abused!

topic posted Mon, February 11, 2008 - 11:25 AM by 
If there's one thing that pisses me off about other people, it's the helpless-abused-victim thing that some of them drag around like toilet paper on their shoes. There's this whole subset of people who believe that because they had fucked-up stuff happen to them as kids/teenagers/adults, their entire life is ruined and now they're just targets for more abuse. Have you ever noticed that these victims tend to attract/create more drama and bad things, almost as if it's a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Instead of understanding that they create their own reality, and they have a choice in how they react to bad shit, they just piss and moan and whine and complain about how awful it is to be them, and heap excuse after excuse onto their shitpile of why they're _______ (poor, angry, damaged, unloved, discriminated against, abused).

For example, this woman: (long thread, but very entertaining in a "trainwreck" sort of way. There's also a matching thread in the Harbin Hot Springers tribe, for more fun)

    I bloody hate these people and I know exactly who and what you mean. Like their problems are all external and everything happens to them and yet they never do a damn thing to try and make their lives better, just sit and complain about everything that's wrong with them and their lives.

    These are also the people who think they have a monopoly on pain, sufferent and grief and like to play "one-up" whenever someone with real troubles is actually brave enough to speak up.

    Welcome to Grrr's Mother, 101 <lol>.

    I'm with you 100% on the victim mentality thing, HL. You can either find a positive way to rise above the horrid things that have happened to you, or you can become an ass and blame the rest of the universe. I can't imagine how life can *possibly* feel better if you choose the latter option.

        I'm dubbing the whole trolling tryst as a "The Nuclear Namaste Gambit"...

        "Hi, my name is satori bird and this is what I think of Harbin Hot Springs and all you all..."

        people.tribe.net/bitermonk...25658ad586

        Of course, to pull it off truly affectively, you have to have no shame in starting a flame war...to get folks to feel sorry for you to the point where even you, yourself, can't bear to follow up on their kindness, an alleged kindness, one might add, that seems to be a variation on the "Perverse Logic Check"...yet, still, they seem willing to go through with just to further "The Nuclear Namaste Gambit" at an unsuspecting hot springs resort in one's own neck of the woods.

      Oh lord, I finally got around to reading that thread, and I gave myself a headache from rolling my eyes so much.

      "what i "see" is that there are particular vibrations put off in the words used in your original languaging...
      the direct result was the vibration that appeared in my response..."

      "most of you, certainly, attempted to crucify me...
      reminds me of the roman empire just transposed into new age "light" beings (most who find comradery at harbin obviously)...
      and, just like they who killed yeshua (ghandi, mlk, kennedy, marley, etc etc infinity) in an attempt to squash the Truth, so do you all stand here, "against" me in this thread... "

      Comparing yourself to Gandhi for perceived rudeness from a hot springs retreat? Comedy Gold.
