WHY HURT PEOPLE, HURT OTHER PEOPLE
Contributed by: Pep
I received this this morning and it kind of helped me understand why Princess and her ilk do the things they do to hurt others:
Why Hurt People Hurt Other People?
The following are common traits hurt people display in their interactions with others.
I. Hurt people often transfer their inner anger onto their family and close friends
II. Hurt people interpret every word spoken to them through the prism of their pain
III. Hurt people interpret every action through the prism of their pain
IV. Hurt people often portray themselves as victims and carry a “victim spirit”
V. Hurt people often alienate others and wonder why no one is there for them
VI. Hurt people have the emotional maturity of the age they received their (un-dealt with) hurt
VII. Hurt people are often frustrated and depressed because past pain continually spills over into their present consciousness
VIII. Hurt people often erupt with inappropriate emotion because particular words, actions, or circumstances “touch” and “trigger” past woundedness
IX. Hurt people often occupy themselves with busyness, work, performance, and/or accomplishments as a way of compensating for low self-esteem
X. Hurt people often attempt to medicate themselves with excessive entertainment, drugs, alcohol, pornography, sexual relationships, or hobbies as a way to forget their pain and run from reality
XI. Hurt people have learned to accommodate their private “false self” or “dark side” which causes them to be duplicitous and lack integrity
XII. Hurt people are often self-absorbed with their own pain and are unaware that they are hurting other people
XIII. Hurt people are susceptible to demonic deception
XIV. God often purposely surfaces pain so hurt people can face reality
XV. Hurt people need to forgive to be released and restored to freedom
* • The Gospel of St. John 20:23 says that we have to release the sins of others if we are going to be released. This means that if we do not forgive others then the very thing we have become victimized with will become a part of our life. For example, alcoholic fathers breed alcoholic sons if their sons do not forgive and release their fathers.
* • The good news is that, through the efficacious blood of Christ, we can all be healed and set free from all past hurts so we can comfort others with the same comfort we ourselves have received from God (2 Corinthians 1:4).
Truly our mess can become our message!
