Victimhood Dependency

noun
noun: Victimhood Dependency

Victimhood Dependency, also known as “Woe is Me syndrome,” is in most cases a severe addiction to the attention and exclusive treatment one receives from sympathetic/empathetic interactions from others.

Typically in public settings, especially online settings, a person with Victimhood Dependency will tend to take controversial things about themselves (i.e: race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability) and complain about them in return for interaction from others as well as exclusivity from them.

Cases of Victimhood Dependency can be diagnosable within one conversation for most cases. Worried about a friend? Please read the example below:
In the example, if it’s not obvious enough, the person affected with Victimhood Dependency is Person 1.

Person 1: “Hey, I’ve heard that our high school is having a reunion party next week! Totally dope, right?”

Person 2: “Oh, that IS dope! What day and time?”

Person 1: “It’s so hard being a minority, I really wish things were easier for us.”

Person 2: “I don’t see how…”

Person 1: “Are you denying my VERY REAL discriminative experiences right now?”

Person 3 (Often deemed “Dipshit”): “Yeah, Person 2, you’re an asshole. Person 1, allow me to kiss your feet and encourage your behavior.”

Person 1: “Sweet…”
