A form of mental gymnastics used by selfish
people to avoid accountability, or to avoid admitting they are an
asshole. Related to princess syndrome and narcissism.
Symptoms include:
being easily offended,
making everything dramatic,
lack of improvement in life,
somehow being the victim of every story they tell,
fixation on negative events,
blaming others for their actions,
starting unnecessary conflicts,
obsession with identity
politics,
poor understanding of boundaries,
lack of respect for others,
unwilling to take responsibility,
and a sense of entitlement.
Person 1: "Can I borrow you
car?"
Person 2: "No, I need to run some errands."
Person 1: "Geez you don't have to be an
asshole, I'm just trying to go get some food because im poor and starving and have a broken leg. Your literally attacking me as a person. Do you know how many
people kill themselves because of people like you?"
Person 2: "Please go to counciling for your victim mentality."
