Are you partial to playing the victim? Sometimes we have too much stress going on and problems don't get fixed. Then we have trouble coping with it all. Below are 7 possible ways you may be playing the victim.

1. Complaining- "This is too much..."

2. Isolating- "You don't get it..."

3. Catastrophizing- "It's never going to change..."

4. Blaming- "It's their fault..."

6. Exaggerating- "I've tried every solution already..."

7. Comparing- "You haven't experienced this like I have..."
