The Modern "Victim"

“Victim,” as used by psychologists, frequently refers to someone who is momentarily upset or generally less satisfied, less happy, less successful or less fulfilled than they believe they should be and who attributes that feeling to something supposedly done to them, or merely witnessed or worried about.  Virtually any event can now qualify a person as a victim.
