SIEGE MENTALITY AND MENTAL HEALTH

 

              

 

 I.The initial symptoms:

1.’’Work environment is toxic.Management is toxic.’’

2.’’There is no work-life balance.’’

3.’’I am overworked and underpaid.’’

Not suggesting this is fictional.Just overhyped and stressed to a point where your professional life becomes dysfunctional.

II.Perpetrated by socio-professional media platform:

This is typified in social media impotent rage reactions where real and reel mix, and we are a perceived victim of systemic injustices and inequalities.The trouble lies with everyone else ,except me/us(the victims of the system).The mob culture reaction afforded by safety and comfort of anonymity of social media makes us spew venom on all and sundry.Contrarians are trolled and vilified.

III.What is SEIGE MENTALITY ?:

It is a real psychological phenomena requiring intervention.It is group victimstancing. It is a collective state of mind in which a group of people/even individual believe him/her/themselves constantly attacked, oppressed & exploited in the face of the negative intentions of the rest of the world.

We can together identify the why of it.And create curated solutions to discover that every crisis creates an opportunity.
