5. They act like a victim.
When it comes to human relationships, it’s vital to remember that things aren’t always black and white. This is especially true when someone is being aggressive, for instance. Some people could easily play the victim to get power and do so all the time. This can be done on purpose or by accident.
People who do this often act like they don’t care. They tend to blame others for everything bad that happens to them in order to avoid direct confrontation and taking responsibility. They often say that other people are making them pessimistic by putting too much stress on them. This is a type of manipulation, but it can also be a way to protect yourself from certain signs of fear or anxiety.
When someone acts in this way, it’s best not to judge or criticize them and to treat them with respect, since they may be going through hard times and need help. It’s better to talk to them openly and honestly about what’s going on so you can figure out what’s going on and don’t demotivate them. Helping and guiding them to question their role in everything that happens to them could also be helpful, but it’s best to send them to a professional in any case.
