How do you want people to see you as a victim?

I feel that schizoids and Avoidants have the most legitimate claim on being considered a victim as how mistreated we are.

However, do you like people acknowledging that you are a victim?

PS: Just as a side thought. I find it just sickening that the other PDs or mainstream types with similar attitudes get away completely with claiming to be a victim when we have much more to cry about.

On one hand I'd like some people to see that it's not easy living in my skin. Nothing dramatic, just acknowledge that I find some stuff much harder than others take for granted for.

On the other, I know how people look at you when you present yourself as a victim: you get accused of being an attention-whore, weakling, someone who likes being miserable.

Even the few times I decided to open up a little to someone close (I know bad move; which I won't do in quite a while...) they didn't seem to understand (or care?), either because it was so different from the facade I usually kept up (so they thought it wasn't serious or I was making it up) or because their answer was simple "oh it feels like that but you'll get over it soon enough".

As time goes on I'm becoming more and more cynical about everything and especially people. I think I'm transitioning to schizoid by the day.

I certainly see myself as sometimes a victim. It is only a useful label if someone sees you as a victim of somebody else's behavior. To tell them or show them by your own reaction that you consider yourself a victim of their behavior seems rarely successful. People feel their own conduct is rational or justified and you are overly reacting or too sensitive or just not understood at all. As justified as I may feel my victim status may be, it doesn't result in anything positive for me, so while I do think about it some, I try not to dwell on it.
