How to Stop Feeling Like a Victim

You've got to realize that people may or may not look out for you. It's your job to look out for yourself in an ideal world, in healthy relationships. For example, if someone's promised to help you with something and then doesn't follow through with that promise, you're not a victim. You need to be very selective with when you decide that you're a victim of a situation versus when you're not. So don't actively be whipping up that card if I have no power in this situation, unless you absolutely have to.
