Yeah, it's true some people might be doing it to themselves.
But when you've actually been abused throughout your childhood by not only your peers, but by family members as well...
Makes me a little bit more than upset that you're insinuating it's all my fault/I did it to myself.
We're all triggers that affect others.
Accountability is what defuses.
It's not "all" your fault. But when it is, it is. You can only be upset if it affects you somehow. You'd know better then I do when it comes to your own reasons. I know patterns. But I'm not a mind reader. Here's my theory though. You try to figure out what is your fault. Yet it gets difficult when people blame you. Sound about right?
Do you have any idea how quickly people with anxiety can learn courage in the blink of an eye? But you got to play it smart. It doesn't happen with "kiss their ass". I can tell you that much. If someone is wallowing and going "can't" then do you think I'm going to reward a closed mind?
Let's cover a situation where someone learns courage. They'd actually be one of those "can't" people.
Degrading someone for being a coward can get them to get right up in your face. Which shows courage. And is not to be treated as a "personal attack". This is a more playful situation. If you punish courage, if you punish "speaking up" then that would only teach people to be cowards again. Are you starting to get the idea?
Let people be angry more basically. Ohhh, but it's a "personal attack", right? Let's say it is. Does it change the fact that you might have done something youself? If a situation doesn't go the way you like then maybe you made a mistake somehow.
Sometimes it's not that playful. Sometimes it takes someone dyng before people learn. The way I had to learn. It is what it is. Or was in this case. What I didn't know then I didn't know.
At first I made the mistake of beating myself up. "Can't. Can't. Can't." I used to see myself that way once. Wallowing. Beating myself up. What is the POINT in that?
CAN!
Got back out there. Got my shit together. Got myself out of that rut. I will not be dragged down into that dark pit of despair again. So why would people do it to themselves then? Probably because it's all they know. But that's just it. It doesn't mean there all there
is. You just might not
see it.
To go "can't" is to blind yourself. To give up. To not consider the possability. If you limit yourself from fear then you will never reach your full potential.
