Constantly claiming to be a victim is not a sign of virtue.?
It does not establish any moral ground or standard for behaviour.
It's a deliberate (even though unconscious) strategy for narcissists and psychopaths to get ahead.
Data Says: people who regularly signal victimhood are more willing to lie, cheat, and steal.
Beware those who air personal grievances like every day.?
They don’t really need your sympathy.
