A victim mentality is a prolonged form of suicide.

Summary

This quote suggests that adopting a victim mentality is akin to slowly destroying oneself. By constantly believing that one is helpless and blaming external circumstances for their problems, individuals undermine their ability to take control of their lives and find solutions. This mindset ultimately leads to a self-destructive path, living in a state of constant victimization instead of overcoming challenges and thriving. It highlights the importance of cultivating a resilient mindset and taking ownership of one's actions and circumstances.
