Have you ever come across someone who thinks that the problem lies in the entire world but not in them? You may initially think that they are very simple in nature and get hurt eventually but the actual fact is that they are basically playing the role of a victim. Yes, you heard it right, they just are playing the role of a victim. Today in this article I’ll share some signs which will help you to identify someone who is always playing the role of a victim. Please read this article till the end because you may often need to identify such people before they blame you for their mistakes. So let’s not waste more time and get started with the signs to identify such people.
The world is so cruel
Have you ever seen someone who always feels sorry about themselves? Such people always want sympathy but say that they don’t want so. You may always find them saying that the world is so cruel and they don’t belong to this generation because they are innocent and simple. But let me tell you something, someone who is actually facing these issues won’t ask for sympathy by sharing their problems. Please don’t think that I’m being judgemental but this is true. A person who is actually in pain will probably keep their pain to themselves instead of sharing it with others. Though I’m not saying that everyone who shares their problems is playing the role of a victim. But those who are seeking attention are obviously playing the role of a victim.
Cold manipulation
These tactics are well known by people who know how to play the role of a victim. They know how to handle you. They may even blame you for something you never did and eventually make you feel guilty. If you always feel that the problem lies in you, even after have a deep feeling that it’s not then do understand that it’s because you got convinced or manipulated by the other person. They obviously know how to take your advantage, but if you don’t do something according to their expectations then they will start acting cold. This is also a kind of manipulation.
A static life
This is a very important point that will help you to identify if someone is playing the role of a victim. Generally, these kinds of people have no progress in life and are yet stuck on the same page. This is because they want to gain more sympathy and attention and feel more sorry about themselves. They think that this may lead other people to praise them for being who they are. But what they forget is that they are building up a fake personality and no one will ever love the actual personality which they have.
Blaming others
As I have already mentioned in the above point, if you don’t work according to how they say or how they expect then they will definitely start blaming you for sure. For example, suppose if they ask you for a suggestion and you say that the fault is from their own side then they will start considering you as their enemy instead of improving themselves. Eventually, they will start defaming you in front of others. Not only that, no matter how hard you try to make them realize their fault, they will do exactly what they want to. And once they get what they want, they would never be in touch with you again.
Trust issues
Though this is a difficult sign to identify because somehow we all have trust issues right? But when it comes to someone who is playing the role of a victim, they basically have very low self-esteem or lack self-confidence. As a result, they don’t even believe in themselves and thereby try to impose the same thought on others in such a way that the other person will initially get convinced regarding the same.
So this was all about today’s article. Please try to stay away from such people. I’m sure that after reading this article you basically could see the images of a few known people in the back of your mind. So you see, they won’t think twice to defame you in order to get attention or sympathy. They may even convince you to some extent in which they can take you for granted and take your advantage. Confronting them won’t help because they obviously know where they go wrong, it’s just that they don’t have to guts to confess that the problem lies in them. So the best way to deal with such people is to simply ignore them without giving any sort of sympathy. That’s all, thank you for reading till the end.
