How To Stop Being A Scapegoat by Teal Swan

I have been binge-watching Teal's videos for the past 2 days despite my very busy schedule. I noticed that Teal doesn't hit the target in most of her videos. She's also vague and says more than what's needed. She emits 50% - 70% signal and 50% - 30% noise in most of her videos, which is not good enough for me. I have many important things to do, and I don't have time for anything that is not truthful, straightforward, or concise. But the video above stands out because it's 95% signal and only 5% noise, hence I'm posting this here. If you have a dysfunctional family and are experiencing being scapegoated, this video is for you. I know how bad and traumatic it is to be a scapegoat because I have been the family's scapegoat myself. Society labels scapegoats as 'black sheep' without emphasizing that many times such scapegoats are actually the 'white sheep' in a family of black sheep.    Yes, it's possible to go from 0 to hero. The extreme trauma, extremely low self-esteem, hypersensitivity, extreme confusion, and extreme fear seem impossible to heal or conquer, but it is possible. I know because I used to have those internal turmoils, compounded by alcohol and cigarette addiction, OCD, BDD, agoraphobia, and extreme suicidal depression. I was scapegoated and bullied by my own father, who was so devilish and spewed so much humanshit (bullshit); he would make Trump and Putin look angelic in comparison. No, I'm not exaggerating. My other family members eventually participated in the scapegoating. I was scapegoated by my family since I was 6 or 7, and I grew up extremely and completely internally destroyed; so destroyed that I couldn't even go outside my room in my early 20s. Actually, I went from -100 to hero. Life would have been much easier for me if I had started at 0. Now, I am the opposite of who I used to be: I have high self-love, self-respect, self-esteem, and self-confidence; my family and other people admire and respect me; and I feel good about myself. I'm capable of demonstrating such high self-love and self-confidence; Trump, Musk, Kanye, Mayweather, and other narcissists would envy and could only dream of demonstrating.     Yes, I sound as if I'm bragging because it's my intention to brag.  But my bigger intention is to inspire and demonstrate to scapegoats in this forum that it's possible to stop being a scapegoat, and that it's possible to heal and be self-loving.
