Self-Victimization

 Self-victimization includes:

Dwelling and obsessing about the ways we feel we’ve been wronged.
Complaining about painful, seemingly unfair events without ever considering if and how we played a role in them.
Using these events to justify negativity; bitterness; or selfish, hurtful, or irresponsible actions.
Feeding off other people’s sympathy and maybe even depending on it.
Telling sad stories from the past as a means of avoiding judgment or trying to win approval.
Believing that everything would be better if the world or other people would change.
