The Great British Victim Complex

I have to be careful what I write here or they’ll think I’m attacking them and they’ll use it as a way to dismiss everything I’ve said.

Part of the British experience is listening to the locals complain — a lot… and I mean a lot. They’ll complain about the weather, they’ll complain about their jobs, they’ll complain about other people. But overall people's lives here are pretty good.

You’d never think that listening to people, and it doesn’t help when you’ve got people spreading false rumours about the country making out that it’s worse than the developing world.

So why do people here complain so much?

When you don’t have any real problems you tend to make your own if you don’t have any goals and ambitions. Like Wales when they implemented a 20mph speed limit.

Privilege

A lot of privileged people have a victim mentality because they know they can use it to get what they want. When they’re kids they cry and bitch and their parents give in because it’s the easiest thing to do.

They take this with them throughout their entire lives as when you find something that works you keep doing it. The downside to it is that you’re a hard person to be around, so as long as you’re comfortable with people not liking you then you’re good.
