There are disordered individuals that develop an identity of being “the victim”. They actually get a high off of the attention they get and it’s not unusual for them to get together online to attract attention. Yes, they even begin to lie in order to maintain the drama and the attention they get. It’s not unusual there is also an alcohol addiction.

Often these individuals did not get attention when they were children and may have lost being the center of attention to a younger sibling/siblings. So they grow up looking for the attention they lacked as a child. Often they develop an addiction to alcohol and begin hanging out looking for attention and validation. They go from one failed relationship after another and often have the same problem with jobs. They often oversell themselves and then cannot do the job they oversold themselves for. Again they are the victim in both the failed relationships and different jobs. They just keep drinking and repeating the same dysfunctional cycles. They live in denial and they don’t mature.

Keep in mind, narcissists are individuals always looking for an identity and need constant validation. They thrive on dysfunction always looking looking for attention and validation. They tend to have addiction problems.
