Why Me Quotes

“Emotional abuse is designed to undermine another's sense of self.
It is deliberate humiliation, with the intent to seize control of how others feel about themselves.”
― Lorraine Nilon, Breaking Free From the Chains of Silence: A respectful exploration into the ramifications of Paedophilic abuse

“Such ordeals always strike one with their strangeness, their digression from the normal flow of events, and often provoke a universal protest: "Why me?" Be sure that this is not a question but an outcry. The person who screams it has been instilled with an astonishing suspicion that he, in fact, has been the perfect subject for a very specific "weird," a tailor-made fate, and that a prior engagement, in all its weirdness, was fulfilled at the appointed time and place.”
― Thomas Ligotti, Noctuary

“Instead of saying, 'why me? Out of the hundreds of thousands out there, why must it be me?' When you can be thinking 'well, it's going to end up being someone. Whoever it happens to will say why me, so how am I any different? Do I deserve to suffer less? Is there a smaller chance I would get stabbed with a knife rather then the person standing next to me? I should be grateful that I rather then they suffer, instead of being sorrowful that I suffer at all.”
