I feel like I'm developing a victim mentality.
Why? Because it's easy. Because it feels good. It feels good to blame other people for my problems. It feels good to never be in the wrong. It feels good to think other people are putting up barriers. I feel important when I give into thinking this way. With so many people and things out to get me, how can I not be important?
But these feelings are all a drug. The momentary rush of pleasure that comes from blaming others soon fades, and I'm left with only resentment and anger. And so I go looking for my next fix. Who can I blame today? My parents? My genes? God? Will this continue until I have nothing left but blame in heart? How do I break free? How do any of us?
