Playing the Victim as a Man

We are living in a society where many men are playing the victim and it is hurting us

Why do men play the victim?

Inward Victim

When you act as an inward victim, you don't necessarily act it out but it comes across with your inner voices
This type of thinking can become a mindset that keeps you passive as a man
Sometimes others may see these types of people as not motivated or lazy, but, the truth is they are inwardly victimizing themselves
Many men who live with an inward victim mentality live in a reactionary focus
This feels safe to many men and they flow in it naturally, but the problem is they are abdicating their ability to lead

Inward Journey

Men can often fall victim to the victim mentality when they haven't gone on the inward journey
A self-aware man goes on the inward journey and figures out his own thoughts and feelings
Men who have clarity about their identity don't play the victim
When a man needs affirmation, he can be led around and manipulated
When a man is secure in himself, he doesn't respond to manipulation

Inward Realities

The majority of men who play the victim don't understand their own inward realities
As men, we shouldn't expect ourselves to be good at everything or to like everything
You really aren't competing with anyone else, you are competing with yourself
When guys try to be someone they aren't and fail, they often fall into a victim mentality
When a man recognizes his own strengths and weaknesses, he is a much wiser and more powerful man
