I'm so sick of people's opinions on being a victim... 🙄

It's clearly opinions from people who have never really been through much of anything, lacking the empathy to let someone cope.

You don't know what someone has been through and you obviously don't understand the science behind having a brain, much less a brain capable of compassion.

I remember a few people here telling me I was acting like a victim. I suppose, feeling like a victim after rape, abuse and losing my parents within a year of each other then being treated like the family trash wasn't valid enough for them. Yes I was a victim of rape and sodomy before my brain could understand or process what happened. I was a little girl.

And a victim.

Yes it's real even though it didn't happen to you. Consider yourself lucky and find better things to think on besides putting down people with brain damage from trauma. Perhaps do some real research before you formulate a belief from your safe perspective.

Even when I was stuck in that low place I was fighting my way out of it. For decades. And the thing that really helped me most was being able to confront one of my abusers, also a family member. Imagine if I was more consumed with hiding it, I never would of gotten out of it.

So please, before you get on your high horse and act like an emotionally unstable person is a lost cause or has no right to how they feel... Imagine empathy and being a real freaking person about it. Realize your privilege and shut your mouth. You don't get to decide how people cope, especially if you're unwilling to understand or help. Your ignorance makes it so much worse.

A bit late to respond but I had no idea you'd been through all that and if it's not condescending to say, I'm proud of you for pulling through. You're strong.

@SinlessOnslaught Thank you. I am strong and I got through most of it alone so every time I see people telling someone they're acting like a victim I want to snap.
@ScreamingFox Being alone terrifies me.
