How to Move Away from the Victim Mentality

by Henrik Edberg

“Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.”
John W. Gardner

How do you react if your day doesn’t go as you wish?

Well, at first you’ll probably feel pain.

But what then? What do you do after the initial pain?

Do you think of yourself as a victim, as someone with little or no control or power? Do you slip back into a familiar headspace where you feel sorry for yourself and where you feel like someone – or the whole world – is against you?

I used to get stuck in that mentality quite often. And I know that many people get stuck in it from time to time or more often than that.

Join My Brand New Smart Social Skills Course

by Henrik Edberg

Today is the big day – my brand new 12-week Smart Social Skills Course is now open to join.

Click here to learn more about the course and to join it

I have worked on this course for the past 6 months but the work started over 8 years ago when I made a decision to start improving my own social skills.

And within this course I have collected the very best things I have learned over these 8 years that have helped me the most to improve my own social skills and relationship habits.

Each week of the course you’ll get a written guide, a worksheet to help you gain better understanding of your own situation and results as you go through the course and an audio version of that week’s guide.

Your social skills is one of the most important and essential things in life.

It is one of those things that make a huge difference if you work on them.

As you improve your social skills you can:

  • Build more social freedom. This is truly wonderful. Instead feeling stuck or staying in your shell you can expand your life in so many ways. By building your own inner social freedom you can connect with more people in better and more fun and interesting ways plus create new and exciting opportunities romantically, in your career or with friends.
  • Deepen your relationships. With better social skills and relationship habits you can explore new depths with friends, a partner, your family and the people that are closest to you in life.
