Understanding the concept of "The Victim as Persecutor" has had a profoundly eye-opening impact on the last 10 years or so of my life. I guess I understood this concept on some surface level, but only recently did I sort of accept it as the truth.

It makes interacting with others a LOT less disappointing and irritating. Slowly but surely, I'm learning to give others the benefit of the doubt, to understand that they are victims.

Can you be the victim as the counter-puncher?

There are times where if I felt like a victim, I would go after that person and get up in their face.

It gets tougher as we get older and bullies learn how to exploit the system.

But there’s nothing worse than feeling helpless.

Does that make sense?
