Query: Self-contradictory

Although I understand what the author is trying to convey here, he contradicts himself. He states that we shouldn't take anything that anyone does or says personally, but he later explains how we sometimes attract those people that treat us the way we want to be treated, i.e. someone who sees themselves as a victim will often attract abusive people. While this is true, how then can we not take what people say and do seriously if we caused the situation in the first place? This is a well-intentioned but ultimately confusing book; I've read better books of its kind.
