I used to meet a lot of these people in the office. They’d resign themselves to their situations and blame everyone else.
When I come across it now, I’ll listen and then ask what could make it better. 50% of the time it’s “does not compute” + excuses.
Choose to watch 2hrs Netflix every night or settle for a crappy job or relationship? Go for it, I’m not judging you. Bitch that it’s your only option? Nope.
It’s not the average Joe’s responsibility to have to fight for a system of equality, or their responsibility to know a correct solution. The US Government needs to be held accountable for the insane wealth inequality they’ve allowed under their watch. That’s what they’re paid to do.
Learned helplessness is a real issue for some people. It’s really sad to see and often difficult to help someone realize they can put their energy toward better things
