The Helpless One
The Helpless One feels hopeless, not able to change things and may
feel misunderstood.
If you have slipped into a Helpless position, you might hear yourself
saying:
I’ve tried everything.
Poor me!
Oh no! don’t know
What’s the point! I what to do!
never get anywhere.
It’s useless. I give up!
Nothing I can do will
change this mess! I’m just rubbish at
this.
They all hate me! They’re all ganging
up on me.
