A paranoid variation of the masochistic trend contains the confidence that something terrible is about to happen. For example, people who have been raised as vengeful and envious adults may be immobilized in situations that may lead them to success, because they feel anxious about being afraid of being punished for success. Unconsciously, they seek to end this by provoking an attack that, as it seems to them, cannot be avoided.
Introjective variation of the masochistic trend observed among those who equate suffering and self-sacrifice with virtue and righteousness. The self-esteem of such people directly depends on self-sacrifice or suffering, the more sacrifice and suffering, the more virtuous and significant a person looks in his own eyes. Righteousness empowers such people to feel superior to others. This kind of masochism can be characteristic of people who choose helping professions or are involved in volunteer projects when serving the needs of others they do not care about their own.
Another variant of the masochistic trend - these are people with the attitude that the world, in the end, for their suffering and sacrifice must, is obliged to "pay" them compensation, which will be proportional to their suffering and self-denial. The literature notes that this variant of masochistic dynamics often causes irritation, condemnation and even sadistic transference in the therapist. Practical example. In group therapy, Olga (name has been changed) rejected any help, advice or desire to share Olga's pain and suffering from the group members. Obviously, Olga was not going to share with anyone the weight of the cross that she carried, expecting a reward for her endurance in suffering. Over time, some members of the group Olga began to cause sadistic tendencies.
The next variation on masochistic staging overlaps with dependent personality traits. This type of person tends to view suffering as a prerequisite for maintaining an attachment relationship. Relationships for such individuals are extremely necessary. The anxiety of losing an attachment relationship forces you to give up your own needs and desires, from taking care of yourself and your well-being. Behind the facade of submissiveness, aggression is hidden, which is denied and expressed in a passive-aggressive form, which provokes others to hostile and cruel treatment. Their latent aggression often provokes ill-treatment, creating a vicious circle: latent aggression and resentment lead to passive-aggressive behavior, provoking abuse from others, which in turn serves as an uninterrupted fuel for aggression and resentment. This algorithm reinforces the belief that anger cannot be experienced or expressed openly. With a more disturbed level of personal organization, a person can use projective identification in order to protect himself from his own sadism, provoking another person to a sadistic attitude.
