How have you dealt with a victim-mentality and changed your attitude for the better?

Awareness. Being aware that my 'mood' changed when I felt I was a victim...then, wanting to change it. Observing what was in my control.

Making different choices. Owning my part in the situation. It transitioned into releasing the feelings that I was a victim.

Oh yes. Big time. And the truth of it is, I was a vicitm.

That being said, I lived in it so long I gave it power over my life. I learned that I may have been a vicitm, but I don't have to be a vicitm for the rest of my life. I can take my life back and be grateful I am not there anymore.

Remaining a vicitm for too long (I am talking many years) turns into self-pity, depression, anxiety, and bitterness.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
