(1 post)After reading numerous threads about this general topic, many generated by you, and also the comments, I decided to sign up and suggest something that may help. There are many professionals who can treat the condition that seems to be presenting itself here.
Some of the more relevant details of what psychologists and psychiatrists identify as injustice collecting (the individuals are known as injustice collectors:
Injustice collecting allows us to avoid responsibility for our circumstances. Self-pity garners attention and sympathy from others.
The injustice collector attempts to regain perceived loss of all power by using the attention and sympathy to manipulate others into conceding to the injustice collector, in an effort to accommodate the alleged victim.
The tendency to itemize every unfair knock we've ever suffered is known as injustice collecting. Sometimes the injustices are personal, as in, "My boss unfairly promoted Rick over me." This kind of self-talk leads to anger. At other times, the catalogued outrages lead to overwrought generalizations, such as, "Nothing ever goes well; this is too unfair." This type of thinking leads to hopelessness and rage.
Enough grudge holding and soon you'll see more iniquity than actually exists. The injustice collector becomes a trigger-happy perceiver.
