Victim “thinking” is a lifestyle based on a narrow-minded and selective way of thinking and perceiving that life owes you because you’ve been wronged. Here are the biggest “mental downers” in mood you will face when you come face-to-face with a victim (including you) who has decades of negative attitude at work seniority:
1. It’s not fair!
2. I’m owed because I’m the victim here!
3. Pay up or I will punish you!
4. It’s not my fault!
5. It’s my way or the highway!
6. I told you that life’s not fair!
7. What d’ya expect me to do about it?!
The victims (including you) of “victim talkers” and “victim doers” (including you) will feel VERY angry at that barrage of depressive miscommunication that goes on and on and on and on…like a road trailing into nowhere.
WHEN LIFE TOSSES LEMONS AT YOUR HEAD…DUCK…OR TOSS THEM BACK
You aren’t thinking straight when you put your life on hold to take care of “The Unhappy Depressive One.” You can’t force someone to change…they may not see the need to…they may not want to. Either way, when life tosses lemons at your head…you still have many mega-choices…you can duck…be glad you don’t suck…you can throw the lemons back…toss the lemons aside…learn to juggle lemons and get paid for it. Why turn lemons into lemonade…that takes way TOO much sugar. And you’re not being genuine if you pretend to be sugar and spice and everything that’s only nice.
