A sense of pervasive self-pity and constant feelings of victimization are becoming all too common in our narcissistic, self-indulgent culture. Constantly believing you are a victim damages your emotions, poisons your soul, robs you of joy and hope, and hinders you from ambition and accomplishing life goals. Bitterness and hate take over as the person who chooses this attitude dies a little every day and is soon emotionally and spiritually vacuous. Any life that may have been in their eyes is gradually escorted out into a scorched, barren wasteland of mediocrity and futility. Specific acts of evil must always be dealt with justly, but lifestyle victimization is a cancerous path that inevitably leads to any and all kinds of addictions. Sadly, feelings of hatred are very subtle, very insidious and can seed into an ugly monster in a very short time.
Below is a list of 23 indicators of poisonous victimization mind-sets. Any honest, moral person can use these indicators to diagnose a very serious and self-destructive life choice.
