Why do we feel victimized?

Why do we feel victimized? Why do we put the victim hat? For what purpose do we tend to feel the victim? Playing the victim will not allow to correct the problem, when we play the victim we want others to correct the problem for us; it is a defensive mechanism. When we play the victim we may feel that justice is not on our side; that our self-worth has not been given the value we deserve and that we ought to do nothing to make amends with the person that caused damaged until justice is satisfied. We may have been victimized more than once and have had great losses; but in order to grow over it we have to take the bull by the horns; remove the victim had an move on. The feeling of being a victim can make us reluctant to try again even if we know is the right thing to do. Feeling as a victim will cause us to be lazy at the long run, it can condition us to think that if we try we will not succeed. It labels us a failures.
