The brutal truth about saving a "victim"
Stop handing matches to arsonists and complaining about the smoke. Here's why rescuing people is destroying you. 🛑🔥 When you constantly swoop in to save someone who has a victim mentality, you aren't actually helping them—you're writing a script that ends with you becoming the victim. You pay their bills, you fix their problems, and when they blow it, you become resentful. Boom: you've moved from the rescuer to the persecutor, and they attack you right back. Every time you try to rescue someone who isn't asking for help, you trap yourself in this toxic cycle. It's time to stop handing them your wallet and crying when they burn the money. 💬 Let me know in the comments: What role do you usually default to in the Drama Triangle: the Rescuer, the Victim, or the Persecutor?

Closure Is A Lie (Why You Can't Let Go)
You're waiting for an apology that's never coming. And the hard truth is: even if they did apologize, it wouldn't fix you. We often think we need "closure" to move on. But psychologically, your brain is actually addicted to the resentment. The anger releases dopamine, the victimhood provides an identity, and the bitterness feels like a shield. In this episode of Sober Psychology, we expose the "Cancer of Bitterness." We break down the Zeigarnik Effect (why you ruminate), the Sunk Cost Fallacy (why you keep fighting), and the Karpman Drama Triangle.
