You regain your power by changing your mindset. Realize that a victim mentality only breeds a funky attitude.
I may have been a target, but I was never a victim. I thought I was during the entire time I was bullied and for a while after it was over. Understand that a victim mentality, when taken to extremes, serves no purpose. It only breeds laziness and entitlement. You feel that the world owes you something. It doesn’t.
I had the same attitude and it got me nowhere!
Also, if you hold on to it and let it define you, you’ll only attract more bullies and abusers in your life. We are what we think, and the universe will provide more of the stuff that matches our thoughts.
That is why it’s so important that you shed this mentality of defeat. Only then will you re-empower yourself and win true peace and happiness!
With knowledge comes empowerment!
So true!

Sage advice. Thank you 😊
You’re most welcome, Paul! 😊 And thank you!
I understand everything you said here, BUT… WHY doesn’t the world owe me anything if it was THE WORLD’S fault that I was bullied in the first place? If I did nothing to attract bullies, nor did I deserve such treatment, why doesn’t the world owe me anything for putting me in such a position to begin with?
Because you owe it to yourself and it’s up to you to go out and get what you’re owed. The world is the way it is and neither you nor I can change it as fast as we want to. We live in a fallen world and it’s exactly why good people suffer. I believe in this quote- “If it is to be, it’s up to me.” I had to learn this the hard way.
My heart goes out to you 💔 Know that I understand your pain and I used to feel the same as you. And know that if you need a friend, I’m here.
