"The World is Against Me" (Victim)

0.0 x 0.0

Victim energy is the heavy feeling one has when they perceive that life is against them. Carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, victims suffer. I remember feeling that way as a child on the playground and more recently as an adult in relationships. I saw myself as a casualty of persecution, the unrewarded one who worked the hardest. My unconscious “go to” habit was to twist situations in my mind and cast myself as the loser. I was “poor me”, trapped in a shame based drama, with a plot of my mind’s own creation. To write a new mental script, I spent several years healing my emotions. This new script of mine doesn’t simply flip my old victim illusion and recast me in an equally fragile winner illusion. Instead, I follow a formula of emotional work to acquire wholeness, which leads to resilience, an ease of living, and an unjaded eye.
