3 Boundaries You Can Set If You are the Scapegoat

HI! Being the scapegoat is painful and confusing. Scapegoats are made by being threatened to be abandoned or by being abandoned. This fear of abandonment drives a scapegoat's unwanted behaviors. Here are a couple:

1. Chase rejection- Scapegoats tend to chase rejection. We will hold put with more than others and at times the worse we are treated... the harder we try.

2. People Pleasing- Scapegoats are people pleasers. Scapegoats will abandon themselves and at times those they are for while trying to get acceptance. They can even betray their values trying to please others.

3. Acceptance Seeking- Scapegoats try to get acceptance rather than focusing on what they want and need.

Check out this video to learn more about the unwanted behaviors that are driven by the fear of abandonment.

To overcome the scapegoat role and to be done with these unwanted behaviors, we need to face the fear of abandonment. Here are 3 boundaries you can set to end your scapegoat role for good.

1. Be willing to let go of those that expect you to accept poor treatment

2. Be willing to let go of those who label you as "the bad guy"

3. Be willing to let go of those who do not value you.

Once we draw these boundaries with others and face that we can let them go if they continue to want what is bad for us, it can take the away the power the fear of abandonment has over us. Knowing it is not our job to be innocent, punished, or treated poorly is liberating... and it can free us from our scapegoat role.
