i love bs like this, youre absolutely right, as a 1year old child i should "fully own my experiences" its my fault my mother never fed me when i couldnt even walk. LMFAO.
in certain cases (like this thread) yeah, agreed, but to use that as a blanket statement is dismissing of things people went through and heavily suggests "just get over it". ive done just fine crying about what people have done to me that was completely out of my control and still healing. crazy isnt it? lol
Not victimizing yourself doesn't mean being happy about your life circumstances. However no healing is possible while you think like this OP. This OP says in all caoital letters "I AM THE VICTIM". How much his circumstances are related to his "I AM THE VICTIM" self-beliefs and how much it is his physical attributes? If ypu have any life
experience, you know that plenty of physically not attractive men are successful in society, in business, in relationship, in science, in politics. However I am pretty sure none of them looking themselves in the mirror and have the inner mantra "I AM THE VICTIIM". This guy will always be a victim of his thoughts (not his circumstances). Part of the healing is learning that whatever happened to you, nobody controls your thoughts. Nobody can stop you from learning to love yourself. Accepting that you own your own thoughts, and your own self-love, that is the step towards healing. It is impossible to take even one step forward on the healing journey if you don't stop being a victim and if you don't realize that first and foremost you need to learn to love and accept yourself and find the love that you are looking for from others, inside yourself first. When you are victim, you will not heal. When you have no love, you will not heal. If nobody loves you, start loving yourself. Slowly. Step by step. No rush. And if you cannot control your past, your present, control your thoughts about your past and present. Your thoughts are your own, regardless of circumstances. Being a victim is when you lose full control of everything and your thoughts are just reactions (hate, anger, victimhood) instead of something you take ownership and responsibility. This guy is a victim and if he would have plastic surgery, he would still not be an attractive partner as he is unattractive in the inside, weak, victim, hateful, unaware, not in control, no self love, no love for others. His problem is not what he looks like. Have you heard of the book that was written by a guy in a Nazi concentration camp? The book is called "Man's search for meaning". It describes how one can choose not being a victim and choose his own thoughts even when he is not able to control anything else. Nobody can take that away from you, except yourself. Being a victim is a choice. Quote: "
- "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." ...
