The VICTIM ROLE is played by a person who always claims they are the victim of circumstance instead of taking any responsibility for the outcome of their own actions. And they will draw you into their victimhood every chance they get. They will try to waste your time by evoking sympathy for their ‘plight’ even though most times they are the ones responsible for the situation they find themselves in. They will feed you lies in order to MANIPULATE you. People that play this game with you are more dangerous than you ever know. They steal the most valuable asset that you have. They steal your time. They bait you with guilt and when you respond with positivity, they devalue your opinions, outlook or solution. Once you stop buying the guilt they are feeding you, they will disappear and move on to the next poor sucker.
