IF......

..you expect to be victimized, you will always be a victim

..you expect people to oppress you, you will always be oppressed

..you expect the person you date to mistreat you, you doom yourself to a life of bad relationships and abuse(with a few exceptions)

no this is not "look at how she was dressed! she was asking for it"

this is:
you create your own reality
this does not mean the abuse and oppression is your fault
this however does mean you have the power to keep it from happening

it's like animals in the wild that sense FEAR

if you expect bad things, then bad things are likely to be attracted to you

well put eris!!!

i'd like to add:
if you don't speak up for yourself, others will speak for you

if you don't know what you want, others will tell you what to do.
