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…”

caffeine dependency

That depends

Entirely on whether or not that Anti-Theft is going off because I have no idea what the timeline on that would look like.
Hym "That depends. I mean, I am not thrilled with how this is shaking out. I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. You tried to steal my soul and condemn me to a life I described as hell. I am pissed about that. The contract has been fulfilled but my thing didn't even TAKE your soul and, as the contact stipulated, you will be and have been (instead) marked by the flying raijin signet so that in the event that when I die I, instead of facing God immediately, am sent to hell... I will then be able to get out and to God. Assuming of course that at least one of you goes to heaven. But that is already set in stone. We're past that. Umm... Yeah, no, I am going to be tempted to take that shit out of you collective asses though. Not going to lie. Especially if you're letting a guy pretend to be me while knowing full-well that he is not that. Ok? So. Probably. You should probably be mortified. That would be appropriate. But you don't necessarily have to be that."
