victim mentality is so toxic because if you truly believe you are a victim that suggests that

your circumstances are out of your control, therefore the ability to change your situation is perceived to be out of your control and it's someone else's fault. which isn't actually even true

These days - victims are celebrated. They're called heroes/survivors. Ergo, it's much easier to become a victim than it is to put in the hard work and accomplish your goals.

Often times, people will claim no one ever helped them or warned them about their situation, when in fact, they were warned but they choose to ignore their parents/loved ones. Then they claim no one had ever cared for them - sad story after sad story 😭. Life isn't easy but hey, we have to make good decisions and we have to deal with our failures when we don't.
