An Empathic Response - How To Not Take Things Personally:

Nice post - I find it very pertinent to experiences in western society.
It reminds me of the idea of victimization of oneself. Also there's a flipside to the victimization, which is trying to be a 'fixer.' victimization draws in negative experience by sub consciously focusing on perceived negative circumstance and trying to be a 'fixer' also draws in negative experience because the relative mindset is that things are 'wrong' and need to be fixed, so the tendency is to focus on how things are wrong and negative.

Yes, so true! Two ego identifications which continually attract negative people/circumstances.

I attended a talk by Eckhart Tolle earlier this year and he made a comment which stuck with me. He said something along the lines of:

Everyone thinks people with big egos are walking around over-confident, believing they're the best. But people who believe they are victims and are attached to that as their identities have egos just as big.

At the end of the day we attract what vibration we give.
