Living With a Victim Complex

Individuals who show signs of the Martyr Complex often act in a way that attracts misery. It is actually believed that they do this on purpose, in order to avoid personal responsibility or simply because they are drawn to 'masochism'. 

Moreover, psychologists have come to the conclusion that these persons tend to have or to have had an abusive or codependent relationship.

A Victim Complex sufferer is a person who has difficulties when dealing with trauma, in any shape that this can take. 

Among the most common traits, we can often find the refusal to accept responsibility when handling their issues, the difficulty to move on from a tragic situation or a tendency to be both pessimistic and critical when talking about others.
