Drama Triangle
All of us have our own psychological needs. And when they're not met, we can unconsciously take on one of three roles in the drama triangle to manage our invisible conflict.
Victim. This is happening to me. You're making yourself feel helpless and constantly miserable. You wish people cared more, and they do - but you're too narcissistic to see it.
Persecutor. It's all your fault. You enjoy blaming and threatening others. You think you know what's right, but you're too afraid to be real and fail.
Hero. I need to save others. You think you're being genuine and caring but you're really being dependent. You enjoy rescuing people, even if you let them experience the crisis again.
Some people can stay in the drama triangle their entire lives, especially those that don't take the time to acknowledge the painful root of their own conflict. If this reminds you of yourself, or a friend/family then GREAT.
