Victim Syndrome: Why It’s Dangerous to Blame Others for Everything — Psychologists Explain

09.08.2024 22:49

You've probably noticed that there are people who blame everyone but themselves for everything.

This is exactly what is called victim syndrome, when a person does not want to leave his comfort zone.

We figure out why a person who has taken on the role of a victim does not want to take responsibility.

It's easier this way

Let's start with the fact that unhappy people are more often pitied and helped, and the victim is often not ready to give up such a bonus. Although she is not delighted with her unhappy state, she does not want to change anything either.

Even if you try to open such a person's eyes to reality, he may simply not hear you or give a harsh response.

It is possible to get rid of the position of a victim, but only if the victim himself is ready for it.

First, a person must admit that this cannot continue. And then it is necessary to accept responsibility for oneself and one's decisions, without shifting the blame to others.

The burden of responsibility will lead to the fact that one simply will not want to remain in the state of “everything is bad”, and the former victim will begin to look for the positive in life.
