I wish I could cry more often

What is the psychology of the scapegoat?

I'm sure all you guys are too shrewd to think scapegoats are victims. There is something in the scapegoat that is a magnet for victimization, no?

I'm going through some shit in business and interpersonal relationships that convinces me I got that scapegoat gene.

What is it?

 

idk, but i think i may have it too.

if you need to cry, go mutilate an onion. that always helps.

 

that's what chick flicks are for.

 

i think vito corleone has a solution for you

vito's advice

 

"I'm not cryyyyiiin ...... its just raining ...... on my face."

 

I don't think anyone is ever marked as a scapegoat, it's more something that self-conscious and overly passive folks bring on themselves. everyone around them picks up on the attitude and an unspoken consensus is reached.

 

Maybe you're not sticking up for yourself.

You know who does stick up for himself? Fucking Jet Li.

I reccomend you rent Once Upon a Time in China, Hero, and Fearless. Emulate Jet Li and your path will become clear.

 

Fuck Jet Li.

If this dude needs to emulate anyone ..... its CHUCK NORRIS.

 

This makes me laugh not cry!!!

 

You joker you! Thanks

 

I have difficulty standing up for myself.


I set myself apart from the crowd habitually.

And I'm not beyond self-pity, though I try.

I'm also not the most enthusiastic guy...I act too much of the skeptic.

Who's Jet Li in fearless? I love the movie. The main character?

P.S. Sometimes I act too cool and proud...like I'm not interested in people. Well, it's interesting that the actual reason for that is fear of invading other people's space. I'm absolutely phobic about not imposing myself on others, and so I pre-empt by distancing myself.

 

Sure, if he wants to be a pussy Jesus freak...

 

Hell mother yeah the main charecter. Hou Yuan Jia.

He (Jet Li) has won more chinese national wu shu (martial arts) championships then anyone has. He's a bad man.

 

Oh shit. I thought when you said fearless you meant the movie where the guy survives a plane crash (white actor).

Ooops.

 

*snicker*

 

sorry, i'm totally hooked on icanhascheezburger right now.

 

my little sis Pauline, who's 12, spent 3 months living in a host family 1000 miles away from my parents, in a different country. the people she lived with used her as their scapegoat. I witnessed it. when something went wrong.. it was automatically Pauline's fault. and you know why? cause they were jealous of my sister's education compared to theirs, my parent's situation and a bunch of other things. but it's not just that.. if one their kids had a headache.. it was ok. if my sister did, she was acting. their other kids are 15 and 18 years old. my sister is 12. cruelty? from obese peasants? yes.

 

I'm not a scapegoat. Generally speaking.

But it often happens that I'm really sad and I wish I could cry, because afterwards I think I'd feel better, and I can't.
But well... the onion cutting trick could do the job... but where's an onion when I need it??

 

peasants, eh? ehehehehehe. awesome. thinking of people as peasants tends to make them not like you.

 

that's Jeff Bridges. And I loved the scene in the movie where he crashes the car with that Rosie Perez in the back just to shut her up. Absolutely love it.
