Do you have a victim mentality?
Everyone is the victim of something. But not everyone chooses to behave with a victim mentality.

Victim mentality.
Interesting words. I do not think this even exists.
Being a victim is forced upon you. You do not choose to be raped...or harmed...or get in an accident etc. Therefore there is no such thing.
There is playing the victim when you truly are not.
There is pretending to be a victim.
There are also people who never come out of the trauma and to call this a "mentality" is to say that they somehow have control over how they have reacted to trauma.
I do not buy it.

@JaggedLittlePill i did not mean to offend anyone that geniunly experienced trauma. We all are victims of something. There recently have been a publication issued by a Stanford University about victim mentality. You can look it up. Google it or check google scholar also books on Amazon you can buy about it. Several studies over many years about it also articles in Psychology Today.
