Dale Adams and Ron Cisneros explore the concept of "perpetual victimhood" — a personality trait that leads some people to define themselves by their hardships rather than their achievements. Drawing from personal experiences with racism, a classroom debate with a professor, and research from Psychology Today, they discuss the four traits of the "tendency for interpersonal victimhood," why Americans celebrate underdogs who overcome adversity, and how embracing a victim identity can become a form of excuse-making. The conversation also touches on a New Testament story about purpose, Ron's mother's inspiring immigration story, and the book Surrounded by Narcissists.
