  Being a victim isn’t a choice. “Victimhood” or “vicim mentality” can be a choice.

    That is a very problematic take, though.

    Who gets to decide that a person has a “victim mentality?” If it’s not the person you’re labeling, then it’s not so much a choice they have made as it is a judgement you’ve made.
