Hurt people, hurt people - Vlogging Day 24

[@EmpressKadesh]

Saying "hurt people hurt people" is victim shaming.

@@EmpressKadesh that's really interesting you say this, thank you for commenting. I learnt this in audible I was listening to this week. Would love to hear more on your thoughts about this. I am learning alot in my spiritual journey, learning to heal and help others. Please share your thoughts with me around this. I also haven't meant to offend I am just sharing what I am learning and I did agree in some aspects from my own experience of hurt and how I hurt others without meaning to.

@@jemmaburgess It originated as a kind of "pick me" thing for people without "baggage" to say to make people out to be a ticking time bomb if they have been through any kind of abuse. It is very harmful and results in people who are already victims (there is no shame in being a victim, "don't be a victim" is something abusers say to shift shame onto their victim) to be pushed into isolation because it literally encourages people to fear them. It makes hurt people into an untouchable caste.

@EmpressKadesh thank you for sharing this with me. My understanding was different from the originated meaning due to my own experience and perspective. I respect and appreciate you taking the time to help me learn further. Thank you again and apologies if I caused any upset that was not my intention at all ❤️
