Victim-hood is destructive ideology. Allowing yourself to blame others removes the incentive to be responsible for yourself. It allows others to control you. As a vulnerable senior it's my job to avoid getting ill, not societies.

I don't know about others controlling them. They seem to use it to control others. "Oh, poor pitiful me, I can't (fill in the blank), would you please do/go/give, so I can (fill in the blank)." You can only take so much of that controlling behavior before it drives you crazy, because it's not every so often, it's All. The. Time.
A clarification: I know some people DO have real physical or mental limitations. I don't mind helping people that truly need help. (Although, sometimes they can also overstep boundries.) If you really know these people you can tell the difference.
Somewhat like the charities I support. Some of them clearly share lists so I am deluged with mail requests that fill my bin. And like the internet ads that arrive after I buy something as if I bought one, clearly I must need more of the same. It obviously must work on some, go figure.
