Victim Mentality:

All of us…me included…have been victimized. We have all been wronged. We have all been taken advantage of. Cards have been stacked against us in terms of illness, debt, or abandonment. Many of us have been abused, neglected, or otherwise mistreated. Earth is a tough place and sometimes folks will attribute adverse life circumstances in a way that fosters a negative attitude towards life. And if someone starts adopting a mindset of helplessness or hopelessness, a victim mentality will surely emerge.

Folks who have been victimized usually feel they have little or no control over their circumstances. They may blame others…My husband cheated on me, My boss doesn’t like me, etc. And because of this mentality, these individuals will be more likely to look to others for help.

Meaning, they feel they need to be saved.
