Does it sound familiar?
Someone jumps on you and blames you.
Then takes the role of the innocent victim to escape responsibility – everyone is hurting me! And to top it all off, you hear people saying behind your back that the same vile attacker is a noble saviour. You are the nasty and evil one!
What’s going on here? You’ve been dragged into a drama triangle. What’s a drama triangle? Does it concern me? Is it dangerous? What will save me? The answers are not happy ones.
Yes – this is definitely relevant to you, because the use of the triangle is very common. Yes, it’s dangerous – it can completely destroy your mental health, reputation, success and relationship.
