Such a simple concept in the quote above, but one that is completely and obstinately missed by so many. I know people who lie every chance they get, cheat, use people, but when they deservedly get dumped, suddenly they are maltreated princesses who just aren’t appreciated — manhandled saints who are woefully unlucky in love.
When you get a small taste of what you repeatedly and happily serve up to others, you are not a victim; you are a jackass having a tantrum because someone treated you the way you treat others. When you are single because you are an insufferable asshole, you are not a poor, undervalued woman, used by heartless men; you are a classless bitch with nothing of value to offer. When someone tires of your games, your lies, and your abuse, they didn’t mercilessly leave you; they escaped.
When you are incapable of being honest, giving, loving, and loyal, what right do you possibly have to expect that from others? The perpetual victim act is as old and dusty as the jokers playing it.
