I ask this question because I think everyone in one moment or another felt the temptation to play the role of a victim.
In my opinion it’s a defence mechanism but most of the times is fruitless. The interesting thing is the why.
What takes you to play such a role? what are you trying to compensate? What did it tell you about yourself? What’s not working out?

I’ve been playing the victim role for many years. Not in a aware way. Just the opposite. I believed myself a victim. I used to walk on tiptoes as if I were less than anybody. As if I had to beg pardon for existing. I’m still wondering myself why. The why is the key, in my opinion. Maybe it was because I felt weak or I interpret from someone else that I was weak. I only know that this has been my way to pass through life until at about a couple of months.
