I consider myself as a victim of so many things. With this, it gives me a feeling of loneliness, deppression and disappoinments. I am a victim of love. On my first relationship, my girlfriend just left me behind and look for someone eventhough I have done my best to be a good and deserving boyfriend to her. I am a victim of snatching. Last December 2007, I bought a new cellphone, a gift to myself, to all my hard works for a couple of years. Just this June of this year, my cellphone was snatched. I am really sad and very depress on what has happened. Thirdly, I am a victim of scam sites. I have joined a lot of sites online because I want to earn extra money. But 3/4 of the sites that I have joined turned into scam. There are some sites that I even invest, but after investing, they were gone just like a wind. Now, I have learn. I should be more wise now. And promise myself not to be a victim anymore.What about you?Have you ever been a victim?

I would say you let yourself be a victim so smarten up and get a life. We all had girlfriends that left us. Boo Hoo My heart broke and I even moved away to avoid seeing her at school but I got on with my life and didn't see myself as a victim. Just a guy with a broken heart. Get on with it. If you are silly enough to leave your cell phone out where it can be picked up you deserve to have it taken. Keep you cell phone in your pocket like other people do. I am sure you would feel it if someone stuck their hand in your pocket. Join reputable sites instead of looking to make money the easy way. Scammers know that desperate people will visit their sites. Glad to hear you are going to stop complaining about being a victim and take control of your life. Think before you do things. Should I leave my cell on the table, no I think I will put it away. :)

I have a tough time with depression since having a heart attack and if I don't focus my mind on positive things I could be in a lot worse shape than I am in now. It doesn't always work immediately but I keep at it and that way depression or anything else in my life that sucks my energy away doesn't keep me down for long.

your topic is really horrible, things are not that bad as you think. Take myself for example, I lost 3 new cellphone during my colleage life and now I use a very small and normal one intead of those fashion types,it works not less well than the advanced. ^_^ My boyfriend left me and go abroad for study, I think that's the exprience we should have if we want to be more mature, how to get out of the bad emotion is a good free lesson for us,isn't it? So I want to say, the more you exprience ,the more you should learn from it,keep positive and have a nice smile on your face no matter what terrible sorrows you meet, life is fair. ^_^

As long as you allow yourself to be a victim you will continue to be one. You have to get out of the slump you are in and make your life what you want it to be. Negative thoughts reap negative results. If you allow others to victimize you they will do so. Take a stand and make a goal to never be the victim again. Even when faced with negativity hold your head up and remember you are a SURVIVOR. You are someone that can overcome anything life throws at you and for that you will become a stronger person. Look troubles and sorrows in the eye and laugh at them. Make 2009 the year you take on a new positive attitude......

You are a victim because you LET yourself be a victim. Girlfriends will come and go......especially if they sense that you are wary and untrusting. Stop trying to earn a quick buck...its a waste of your time and money and will only serve to victimise you even more. You are NOT going to get rich this way. And being rich will not take away your problems. You were mugged for your cellphone....its no big deal. At least you werent personally injured. A cellphone is just a material possession and does not mean anything. You can have a phone that is 1/4 that price and it will still go the same job. You seem to have this idea that material possessions prove your worth....they dont. They prove you have no depth...that you are shallow. Have some positivity in your life. Join a few clubs and societies.Learn to love the person you are and not the person you THINK you should be. Gain friends like this and just enjoy your life...... .......all the riches will eventually come.

I am a VICTIM of nothing. I have had many experiences in life but I am far from a victim. I am an OVERCOMER. I have OVERCOME many things. I've overcome divorce, rape, miscarriage, abuse,and so much more. Would others call me a victim? Perhaps. As far as I'm concerned, I am extraordinary, I'm a survivor, I'm a master of circumstances. I chose a long time ago to not be a victim and to this day I still refuse to be. You will be a victim as long as you allow yourself to be; you have a choice in the matter.

did you really read the guidelines?What is the mature content here?please check it out first.

I do not see any relation and possible connection of your comment to the discussion I have just started. I have been a member in Mylot long before you have learned about it. And in my years of stay here, I have never posted anything that contains mature content. If you could please copy and paste the post that you have read that you say contains mature content, I would appreciate it rather than your comments that are obviously irrelevant to the quality discussion I have started (as I have always did eversince) and even before you became a member in this website. Some users are having issues like they are seeing a completely different post when they comment and I am suspecting that we are not in the same post. So I am requesting that you copy and paste that message you see and justify your point in order to end this fiasco.

According to MyLot, "my Lot does not prohibit mature content and some myLot discussions may contain content that is mature in nature. For those users who wish to filter out mature content myLot has created a mature content filter which can be turned on and off on your profile page." I was not explicit in anything I said, so I don't understand your reasoning for commenting the way you did.

hi, i never look at myself as a victim, i believe if you look at your self as a victim you will alway's be a victim. there are alot of crappy things that happen in life and lord knows i have had my fair share of them. but there are to kinds of people in this world, victims who dwell on the past and never move on and there are survivors who pick themselves up and keep going. me i am a warrior you best know there is nothin thats gonna stop me in this life. i offer my two cents now and my favorite motto, "it's my world and your in it". LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT! EVERYTHING IS A CHOICE!

Well I'm glad you learned from those events. I personally have not been a victim. I believe you can only be a victim if you allow yourself to become one. Now, I am not talking about a victim of some random crime such as assualt, robbery, etc. But the type of events such as relationships, being suckered into scams, or letting people take advantage of you, you can only be a victim if you allow it.

Haha you seem to be looking at everything in a bad way. I'm pretty sure there are good things that happen to you. Stop looking for the negatives and start finding the positives. Things happen for a reason. Maybe Karma's punishing you hahaha!

The world is very beautiful, if you think positive. You feel lonely, if you think negative. Be positive in your attitude. Girl friends and money etc is not the world. they simply follow you if you are SUCCESSFUL. Success comes to the people, who thinks positive. Try to concentrate more on self development and positive attitude, and do not give up. everything follows you. Always think, what ever happens bad is good to the future. Good luck and god bless you and a happy year ahead to you.

I would have to say that we are all victims of something. We are basically whatever we define ourselves as because that's what we thing we are. I have been a victim of many things such as people trying to brainwash me into thinking like them, I've been a victim of the legal system and trust me they do really make you a victim not a case that they are trying to fix. A victim is someone who is helpless to what is happening to them and when you are in the legal system it's do what they say or else lose all of your freedom. I mean some places don't even let you have you fill of food or let you pick what you want to eat. I was in one place that only gave you fifteen minutes to eat and they gave the same rations to all of the people completing disregarding the fact that people are made differently and their sizes are also different. That's why we have to take the role of the opresser so that way we aren't constantly victimized.

This world will really fool you if you allow yourself to be fooled. No one can be a victim if they wont allow themselves to be a victim of course. Dont be depressed for that things happened in your past. What is important is " did you learn from the all? ". I think your girlfriend is mature enough to make decisions, and so you are. If she left you for some reasons,despite being "so good bf to her" then let it be, maybe you deserve someone better. If you been snatched, then be a keen obeserver around you. Dont go to places where you know its not safe at all, try to walk with other people when your in unfamiliar streets. In internet, there are always issues like scams and sort of things, i hope you cam examine and analyze it first. Why do u need to invest, or why they are asking for registration fees?, U should check on them or ask people bout them. U will always be a victim if you wont learn from your past. Be smart

I have been known to be a victim of my own ignorance and I pay dearly for it at times LOL Yeah, I've been a victim of things. While moving and some stuff was stored at the old house someone broke in and was squatting there and then, get this, sold some tuff of ours there. That's how he got caught by neighbors. Which some knew anyways because it was their relative squatting hiding from the police. SOme people....I had a hard time getting over that one.

I think your victimizing yourself in alot of ways. Your exaggerating your suffering in your mind. Losing a cell phone or making bad decisions online are very insignificant in the long run of your life. I could see the pain behind a lost relationship, and it is very understandable that that would cause you depression and pain; but a victim of love? I don't think I would make that stretch. Was the relationship worth it? Even if its duration was not as long as you would have liked? Her leaving you just means you need to move on and find someone else some day. I just don't like when people make themselves out to be a victim, when they are just dealing with things many other people deal with.
