RE: The Archetypes of Stress, and a Question for the Steemit Community!
The victim mentality is very dangerous, it stops us from developing and taking responsibility for our actions and life. I absolutely love how you created the archetype Bloomer and took the Survival mentality to a brand new level! 💚
Thank you @zen-art, and I completely agree with you on victim mentality. I think too there's always a tendency for people to pigeonhole and judge, when in reality we have ALL at some point been the victim in varying degrees, and it takes effort to NOT embody that archetype. I think that's part of the danger in it, is it's so darn effortless and easy to just blame others or blame crappy luck. Blame anything else rather than take responsibility. It's also unfortunate because that archetype also struggles with empowerment, because in a sense not taking that responsibility is also giving up personal power, and throwing valuable usable energy around like confetti, for anyone to use abuse or exploit.
It's also why victims stay victims, it's a vicious cycle.
Thanks so much for your comment. You always have such great insight. 😊 Have an awesome day.
