I always seem to miss the obvious. I never seem to read a situation correctly. I always seem to be the one who ends up in the worst position when the chips are down.
I don't know what is wrong with me. I seem to be highly gullible and taken in by others and used as a pawn. I've lost count of the number of times, I've become the sacrificial lamb or scapegoat for other people's mistakes. I seem to get dragged into situations without even realising it.
I think the problem is a combination of a low emotional intelligence and a deep seated loathing. I feel afraid to hold an opinion and have an inability to stand by it, irrespective of whether I am right or wrong. I am far too eager to please others and feel that my needs are unimportant next to theirs. I am ripe for exploitation and astute people are able to read this.
I don't know what the cure for this is. It's one thing being aware there is an issue. It is another finding a way of dealing with it.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact I have never experienced requited love. All the love I have felt has always been one way. The reaction I have been met with when the other person has found out has always been highly negative . It's always been a highly traumatic experience that has reinforced negativity. Each time it gets harder and harder to overcome and find the resilience to move forward.
Do other people experience this or do I just need to grow up, stop being a human door mat and accept life is like this if you let it? Please give an honest opinion
