What is victim-mentality?


Victim mentality is a negative mindset. It places blame on other people and circumstances for any unhappiness felt within." It is the proverbial "point the finger out" scenario.

Those engaged in victim-mentality, view life through a narrow lens of pessimistic perceptions, believing whatever occurs in life is the result of outside causes. Inner reflection is never considered. Being a victim means absolving themselves of blame. Nothing is their fault - ever! Those engaged in victim mentality most often enjoy the attention, sympathy and validation they get from playing this "poor me" role.
