Victimization masks itself as vulnerability like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Playing a victim is a social drug because it is our way of rousing up support and consolation even when it is undeserved. And when we take the stand as a victim, we’re hard-pressed to not let anyone convince us to get off the rock we have situated ourselves on. We act like we’re doing something noble or defending some grand position and we expect all the sympathy that goes along with that, when in fact, playing the victim is waving life’s white flag.

There is no “out” from self-convinced victimhood. It’s a Cul-de-sac of feces.
