Do you know any professional victims?

    Assumptions like that are usually the product of a guilty conscience.

  • It seems very in vogue these days.   I swear some people I know just look for something to be a victim of just to try and fit in.

    they never acknowledge that the common factor in all the problems they have , was either something they said or did. i have blood relatives like that...the best is when they try to blame you for what they did....but i dont discriminate...i blocked and dont associate with them either.

  • My mom is like that. She remembers every imagined thing anyone has ever done to her, but forgets all the things that were done for her. Any time I ever tried to talk to her about a problem I was having, she would turn it around on herself and start screaming at me. I finally stopped talking to her about anything but 'surface' topics, and they still occasionally sent her into eruption mode.

  • My father was one of those.  It makes life totally miserable just to be around them much less growing up with someone like that.

  • It really does. I don't know how many times my sister and I have told mom, 'This isn't about you!'

  • Nope don't know anyone like that ... do you?  There must be people like that I am sure..  but I can't think of anyone.. Personally I would only consider it an attack if someone makes personal statements such as you....this .. or you... that..  In anyone's book that's an attack if you start making personal statements about someone or accusing them of something.. like maybe accusing them presuming to be an expert..  But otherwise no I think we are all sane enough and sensible enough to know when it's an attack and when it's not.. 

    I think the problem comes when someone has engaged in that behaviour and then tries to deny it.. and the usual form that takes is trying to turn it around manipulatively and starts to suggest that the other is imagining things, that they are being over-sensitive etc.. that's just plain manipulation. It rarely fools anyone.
