Launching from Psych Central, playing victim or what is also often called victim mentality is when someone feels like a victim in various situations, even when the evidence shows otherwise. It is possible that the person who is playing victim has no control over what happens to them.
Doctor Julie Landry, a clinical psychologist in San Antonio, Texas, said that this victim mentality can develop as a way for individuals to overcome their traumatic feelings.
Landry then explained that there are several things that can make someone have a victim mentality. These include having no control over situations, continuing emotional pain to the point of feeling helpless, betraying someone, using certain substances or alcohol, and asking others for support.
Then, is playing victim a symptom of a mental problem, or just a personality?
