There can be some overlap between people who feel the need to take on the “Savior” role in the Drama Triangle and those whom we would call narcissists. This is, of course, because so many people try to “save” others so that they will be looked up to
Hi Barbara, I got your email and wanted to say here that even though politically it seems we are on opposite sides,
1. I find my side irritating too
2. You’ve always been nice to me on here and I’m very glad to hear you’re having a slightly easier time dealing with some trauma.
That’s a trite way to put it, maybe, but however I put it, if it’s good for you, I’m glad! Keep feeling better, and any time you want to talk about being mistreated, I promise I will never see you as a person who’s acting like a victim. I get why you don’t want to come across that way, and believe me, you don’t.
Thanks. I sent the email to pretty much all my subscribers (at least those who have interacted with my emails in the past who might be wondering why I haven't written lately). But it was a bit more personal, and less drama related and didn't really need to be a Substack article.
I don't really feel as if a I have a political "side" unless we're talking about people who believe freedom is best. I have a desire for freedom, which I think most people actually want, but don't know how to get without being terrified.
I care less about coming across as a victim then I care about losing my power. When people take on the victim mentality they stop doing what's in their best interest and feel powerless in their lives. I think we all have a desire for power over our own lives too. People just tend to think power over others is the best way to get it, to which I disagree.

That’s a very perceptive observation, the bit about power--and I will try to remember it.
