    A number of people who I have known to have that mindset faced a lot of hardship growing up. They had so much working against them for so long that it’s hard for them to see instances when they have control or to understand when some things are actually their fault.

      This exactly, the person I am thinking of fits this description. They just seem to mostly blame their troubles on others.

      That’s all fair unless you help yourself, ain’t nobody helping you.

      I [do] understand why people are victim whores but I haven zero respect for it or tolerance. Unless that person is looking to engage in solution discussions.
