Offense in a sensitive world?

Do you get offended when you are constantly called a victim, with a victim mentality when you are trying so hard to thrive? And if not, how do you combat it?

Objectively assess whether you have a victim mentality, then once you know that, it doesn't matter what anyone else says.
It's ok to have emotions and to struggle. That doesn't make anyone a victim. It makes you human. It's learned helplessness you have to avoid.

[i]The belief systems of the person with a victim identity fall along these lines:
Life is really, really hard.
Don't get up, you'll just get kicked back down again.
Beware, always beware of trickery; it's around every corner.
You can't trust anyone.
I can't.
You just don't understand how hard it is for me.
Everyone is always picking on me.
"They" are always bigger, badder and smarter than me.[/i]

Victim and entitlement are the same thing. Exact opposite on the outside but the same selfish creamy core on the inside.

1) I am special so fuck you I need special treatment.


2) I am oppressed so fuck you I need special treatment.

Not sure who would say that to a person or why?

I'd get away from the person shaming me.
Remind myself how far I come.
Possibly find at least one supportive person.
