Living the life of a victim is a very vicious cycle. We must first understand what being a victim really means. A victim is someone who suffers trauma within a situation that the person has no control over. We begin to distort out identity when we choose to live the life of a victim. Being victimized is an isolated event, for instance, i am a victim of rape. It was throughout my childhood that this happened. Now that i am an adult and i still being raped, NO. Then why do I continue to life in this lifestyle. Well there are many benefits to being a victim but what happens is that we choose to live the lifestyle as a victim because it fullfills a need within us. As a victim we begin to teach others that we are a victim and they learn to treat us as a victim. With this there will be one of two things that take place. One, the person will shower us with synpathy in which we will milk for everything it is worth in order to feel our need to be loved or two, the person will hurt us knowing that they can keep us within the lifestyle of a victim and so we take that pain and chalk it up to being love because as a victim most people are hurt by the ones that they love and they have created the belief system that love hurts. As this takes place they are then victimized again from this particular situation which continues the cycle of being a victim. Choice is yours next question is what do we do from here?
