SIGNS OF BEING A VICTIM
Lack of knowing your true identity
When you talk negative when things don’t go your way.
When you refuse to face your peculiar challenges
When you whinge and complain too much
When you are not consistent in your convictions
When you look for someone else to blame for your setbacks.
