Excellent, Cherryl, you've summed up the 'victim' behaviour very well. I think perhaps it's easier to recognise the possibility of that kind of behaviour in ourselves and to extricate ourselves from a troublesome situation than it is to give advice to a friend or acquaintance who seems to have fallen into the trap. If we have the desire and self-confidence we can overcome 'victimhood,' unfortunately for many others a lifetime of criticisms has eroded confidence and dimmed a sense of self and advice from others often seems to fall on deaf ears.

Well said my friend.
