It indeed does help to feel like a victim. It does not help you , but it helps that within you which is a product of victimization. Because if you are a victim, then you are entitled to certain rights. All victims get entitled to special rights.
Operate from a center of power. You are powerful. Don’t operate from a center of weakness.
A victim operates from a center of self-dreamt weakness: “I am a victim, I am weak. Somebody has done wrong to me.”
You are powerful. You don’t need to feel as if the other is in any way capable of harming you, of dominating you.
