This article is a continuation of the series of articles on the topic “Manifestations of selfishness and egocentrism.” Let me immediately clarify that we are not talking about real victims of violence or other crimes. We will talk about the psychological “victim complex”. one of the typical roles in egoism. The victim in egoism is a very convenient role. It is clear that conveniences are not immediately found, but when they are discovered, it is already very difficult to let them go - the victim mask instantly and firmly fuses with you and it is no longer possible to distinguish where you are real and where your sacrificial part begins. The sacrificial position is based on a role position -child. A victim is always a psychologically immature attitude towards oneself and the world—irresponsible. A striking typical habit of a victim is the search for self-justification even in the most essentially insignificant life situation, because inside there is a strong fear of rejection, fear of not being accepted, fear of ceasing to be “good”, which are actively fueled by the victim’s usual feelings of shame and guilt. And it’s so unpleasant to feel this feeling of guilt within yourself that the victim tries with all his might to shift it to another person or to certain circumstances. In order to better justify oneself, it is worth blaming someone or something more powerful - it’s not my fault, he came himself") The victim can always “be seen” in dialogue. The dictionary of the victim is designed to solve the main problem; to attract attention, to evoke compassion, to bring awareness those around you, what situation you are in and how difficult it is for you. You can look in more detail about the vocabulary of the victim here. Below the article there are also exercises useful for understanding your sacrificial position in interaction with the world. It is beneficial to wear a mask. “sacrifice,” because it attracts attention, which a person craves in egoism. And attention is energy. And the quality of energy is not important, even if it is some kind of energy, but it is energy that is so lacking inside. People whose free choice was to play the “victim” they do nothing but continue to repeat and clarify the details of their sacrifice to anyone who will listen to them and are great for creating an even more sacrificial situation. Victims know how to very colorfully, deliciously fill their stories with emotions that touch people around and always cause an emotional response. And the most dangerous thing is that they sincerely believe in their contrived helplessness, which is essentially psychological ignorance in interaction with themselves and the world. Victims can be very loyal “friends” and why they can also easily betray when they stop receiving life-giving energy from “friendship”. In principle, they behave the same way at work - dedicated employees - usually the first to betray their superiors. Loyal students tend to betray their teachers. Devoted spouses most often cheat. The danger is that such a “victim” may become even more ill (if the reason to seem like a victim is illness) or lose even more money (if the reason to seem like a victim is poverty). An increase in the flawed state allows you to play the role of a “victim” on an even larger stage (( Dangerous for the victim itself in the first place. In essence, the victim is an energy vampire, because inside there is an acute lack of love energy = life energy. Therefore, the victim is often the most sophisticated predator who weave a web of self-pity around themselves, extorting the energy of an emotional response, and the predator “looks very cute, harmless and defenseless, and you just want to hug him and pat him on the head. By doing this, you yourself automatically become a victim. ((If you take the risk. indicate to the victim your disagreement with her position, you will not be faced with sweet aggression) Victims make the most dangerous criminals - persecutors because they always have a motive for revenge - they were offended, they were hurt, and so on. The rescuer is also a victim, only an altruistic one. Altruism is egoism of the highest order. Victim-persecutor-rescuer = “the holy trinity of ego”." ))
