    Default i think bad things keep happening to me because im a stripper

    all the money i have made from stripping has been used up in some unfavorable way.

    i began thinking about this because today i totaled my brand new car that i spent every last dime on. i literally have had it 4 days. its beyond repair and im out of money, so im just done driving
    phones breaking, shoes breaking, eviction notices, unexpected additions to bills, medical bills
    i started dancing to get ahead, but thats just not happening

    on top of that my mom found out i was dancing, so ive had to lie everytime i go to work
    (which is going to be a hell of alot harder without a freakin' car "why did you take a cab home if you were just out with your friends?")

    im starting to feel like i am being punished for working in this industry.

    i love my job, im good at it, and i make good money, and i feel like i cant continue because of all the bad karma it brings
    i am a good person, and i never do things to hurt people so i dont understand why all this is happening to me. its more than a coincidence by now.

    whats next, i fall off the stage and break something? i would not be surprised.

    If you love your job and are still making money, that's more than most people can say. It's not karma, your job doesn't make you a bad person deserving of bad karma. Sometimes shit just happens.

    It's funny you say that..since I've been dancing, life has been full of many problems.
    Sorry that all this bad is happening to you..maybe its Karma??

    Also, I have to add, take a few moments to look through dollar den to find ways to save money more effectively. A lot of people, not just strippers, have bad money management skills. Like anything else, it can be learned.

    I think everyone feels that way at some point. I am sure it has nothing to do with you dancing. Since when does dancing = bad karma? I don't think any of us are doing anything "wrong".

    Did you have insurance on your car?

    Oh you're not the only one honey...I was telling one of the girls at my club that since I've started working there, I haven't had any luck...for some reason I'm more moody and confused than I've ever been in my whole life.

    I think it happens with everyone...maybe its just the atmosphere or the business itself.

    Hang in there...you'll be alright.

    I really hate to say it but sometimes you'll have mind blowingly bad months and years. It's TYPICAL for your age group. No one ever tells you that from 18-25 there will be massive changes in your life and your very identity. I have had a run of bullshit in a year that would blow you away! Another year I've had so many blessings I was astounded. Every year is different but you have to beging to expect that things will go awry, just know you can think your way through it. Don't take it as a judgement or punishment. Take your time and plan to get yourself back on your feet. You'll also have to decide if it's a good idea to keep living with your mom if she can't be supportive. Maybe you need to get your own apt. so you can fully function as an adult.

    ^First of all, love your post Optimist, great advice!

    Kiki: Do you honestly think some omniscient deity or karma is physically punishing you for dancing?? I mean, dancing may be a little less socially acceptable then other professions, but I don't think it qualifies to be quite evil to the point of where you'd be punished by some metaphysical source?

    Everyone has 'bad things' happen to them, whether they are dancers or not. I mean, look at the economy right now-not everyone affected by the economic condition is experiencing a bad karmic return, sometimes things just happen. Yeah, it sucks, but it's not due to being a stripper, it's just life.

    I'm sorry to hear about your car! Was it your fault or another person? Did you have it insured? Even if you don't have insurance, if it was the other persons fault you will still be compensated if they declare your car totaled.

    We're here for you girl, especially during times like this!

    That is so true. Sometimes it seems like its just one thing after another for me and my friends. Illnesses, being kicked off your health insurance, burglary, being fucked by landlords, etc. Sometimes it seems like every time you get ahead a little, you get slapped with something else. But think of it this way. How could you have dealt with all that stuff if you hadn't been dancing? When all the shit that happened to me happened, I was lucky to have dancing to fall back on.

    Plus, you'll learn from all the hard stuff how to be a better adult. We're baby adults right now hunny! When I got stuck with the bill for the damages to my old apartment, I learned never to let someone live with me without getting on the lease. When my friend had her home broken into and all her money stolen, she learned to always take her money to the bank the next day.

    No one is punishing you for dancing. But I think you need to evaluate how you feel about dancing and what it is doing to you if you feel that its something you deserve to be punished for.

    you guys are super helpful.
    i actually am learning optimist that shit sometimes just happens, and its a part of life. i have to learn to compartmentalize the bad things and not let the bad shit overwhelm my outlook on my whole life.

    i am close to God, so its hard to have a job that i know goes against my religion, and everything that ive ever been taught, and just easy to assume that if i just stopped dancing bad things would stop happening. unfortunatly its not that easy

    btw
    plpd insurance, and since i hit them, nothing of mine is covered

    Wait how is totalling your car related to being a stripper? Honestly, if you had insurance on the car you would have been fine...that's more poor planning, to be totally honest honey....

    same thing with eviction notices?

    I think maybe youre over extending yourself but that really has nothing to do with dancing....

    my thoughts exactly. if you weren't a dancer, all this would have still happened.

    Bad things and good things happen to both good people and bad people. It's not karma. it's life.

    But if you think dancing is bad for you, why are you doing it? it's just a job. I'm sure there are things you do in your day to day life that are more worthy of negative karma. it sounds like you are being punished for not planning thoroughly more than anything else.

    You can buy collision insurance that covers your car, even if it is your fault. Most people buy it on newer cars for this exact reason, but it sounds like you declined it? Karma implies this stuff is out of your control, but it's not.

    I find the saying "when it rains it pours" to be very true. But I am one to analyze things like you are here and I'd likely feel the same way. You'll get through this mess and things will stabilize for you a bit. If you still feel like you are having your run of bad luck after this situation subsides then I'd take a closer look and consider changing things. You'll always know in your heart what is right for you, don't ever deny that.

    Like most people have already stated, I don't think your bad luck has anything to do with dancing. I got into 3 (yes 3) car wrecks within a year--none of them being my fault, and I'm struck with illness constantly. I basically live at the hospital right now. I have been through the wringer for the last 3 years. Things are getting better... SLOWLY... but surely-- and they will for you, too. Remember, there is always someone out there who has it worse than you. You'll make it through.

    Stripping doesn't = Bad Karma. Your mindset is another thing. If you feel DESERVING of bad things, bad events you are dealingw ith some sort of guilt. Maybe stripping isn't the best job for you?

    Starting to change my mindset has brought a lot of good things into my life. Life does indeed suck sometimes and if you get into that mindset of suckage, it will get worse. OP, really go back through that post and rewrite it. What was your fault/bad choices? What was unavoidable? Stuff like proper insurance and money management makes a big diff (says the girl who has had to learn this the hard way). It's not divine punishment unless you want it to be. *hug*

    If you look at stripping as negative, and let the negativity affect your state of mind, it will affect your reality. Everything around you you have created through your mind, I know it sounds fatalistic, but it's true. When you're in a good mood, things flow smoothly and everything goes well, when you're stressed out and feeling negative, you get out of bed and instantly stub your toe, trip over stuff on the floor, forget your keys, lock yourself out of the house, etc, etc... it's a chain reaction. The only way to stop the chain of negative events if to change your thinking. It's a really simple concept, but takes practice to apply. It really does work- it's the law of attraction.
    "Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above."

    I don't believe in Karma in any standard sense so to me Stripping does not Cause bad luck.

    On the other hand, I see many people who make their own bad luck by living life in a risky way vs stacking the odds in their favor. Bad luck can happen to any of us, but we do have some ability to influence our lot in life in thousands of small ways. Every choice we make, little or small, tips the odds one way or another.

    Let me give you a tiny example... my son parked his car behind my daughters in such a way that if she backed up straight she would hit his car. Why? There was plenty of room not to do this. Yet his choice not to park one foot over could cost both of them thousands in damage. Such a small thing, but by making such a tiny different choice, he could improve his odds of not having that happen. Yet he replied with "she will see it". Lame, but he has worse luck in life then his sister because he often makes choices like this. He takes tiny pointless gambles and then wonders why he has "bad luck".

    Also if there is any way possible, always have insurance (medical, and auto, and ideally some on your personal property), even if it means giving up other things. None of us can afford to be wiped about by a bad turn of luck. Yet I know so many people that gamble, skip insurance, live a life without it, they could afford it if they gave up somethings, and eventually something happens and they are then broke as a result. This is a choice they made. Now if you absolutely can't afford it, understood, but if for example one must buy a cheaper car, or live in a cheaper place, or whatever... gambling away one's future vs having insurance is stacking the odds against yourself.
