From my perspective, being a victim doesn't do me much good. I like to keep punching back instead of rolling over, giving up, and being another victim.
Some find value in pity or use it as tool or vice to feed off others. From brief mental attention to those who milked drama/trauma into a job or constant daily donations enabling vices and that personality trait.
I’m willing to trade self respect for anything, anything at all? Lol jk
