Victim Mindset Quotes

“It's rare for a toxic person to change their behavior. More often, the only thing that varies is their target and the blame they place. Because some toxic people are difficult to identify, keep in mind that a victim mindset is sometimes a red flag. So, listen when someone talks about their life and circumstances. If the list of people they blame is long... it's probably only a matter of time before you're on that list.”

“A ‘Victim’ is highly unlikely to embrace gratitude and the idea that everything is a gift or blessing because they haven’t learned the necessary lessons from their ‘negative’ experiences and so their ego rests on the idea that life is the opposite of a blessing – a curse – in many ways. This isn’t because life actually is a ‘curse’ but because the Victim needs this to be the case so they can keep being what they think they need to be (not who they really are).”
― Oli Anderson, Trust: A Manual for Becoming the Void, Building Flow, and Finding Peace

“Someone with a Victim Mindset becomes addicted to being a storyteller of tragedy… Validation becomes their drug and Responsibility becomes their enemy. They will change the story, smear, and reject Accountability at all costs.”
