Sup,
Here's a VERY interesting guy who I've been listening to today speaking on the benefits and logic behind victim mentality:

Spoke to me and struck a chord. He has a lot more interesting videos, revolving around the same idea - taking responsibility for your own life.
To make a confession, I have not been doing that. I've been blaming, and it's been a lot more comfortable than being in a situation where I can be judged. Frustratingly powerless, but comfortably numb.
That's what has to change. Both on my external and internal path. When introspecting, all it was was looking deeper into the things I was blaming and hoping they go away. Externally, I was living my life according to other people and what they'd "allow" me to do. Never really owning up to anger at myself and other internal shit.
Wanted to post a video but this came out as some sort of confession.
