A person who is constantly facing some sort of hardship or traumatic experience whether true, self-inflicted or completely false. Typically a person is a perpetual victim for the sake of evoking sympathy from others or being the constant center of attention. These hardships are usually extreme and can be (but are not limited to) life-threatening sicknesses, family sicknesses, deaths, natural disasters, financial loss, IRS auditing, relationship problems, etc.
We used to believe Vicki's problems were legitimate, then I started keeping track & realized if she really had all the medical problems she claims she does, then she would be dead by now. Now we all notice she has a different ailment every month & is looking for sympathy. Typical perpetual victim.

Get the perpetual victim mug.
A person who is constantly crying, even long after their crying has caused them to be given what they want by an overindulgent guardian.
After effortlessly ramming through the least popular and least qualified Supreme Court Justice in history, the perpetual victims of the Republican Party continued portraying themselves as under siege by a left-wing mob.

We used to believe Eric’s problems were legitimate, then I started keeping track & realized he’s never happy with Games Workshop or their products. He never actually pays Games Workshop for anything, instead using re-casters, 3D printers, and pirating many of their books. Now he thinks he’s a victim since the company is trying to restrict these activities.

Typical perpetual victim.
