Redditor’s Coworker Has Meltdown After Convincing Herself That The Entire Office Is Against Her, It Backfires On Her

Some individuals have a victim complex.

Some people have a tendency to see themselves as victims, believing that they are constantly wronged by others or circumstances beyond their control. This victim mentality can affect their relationships, decisions, and overall outlook on life. Understanding the behaviour and mindset that underpin a victim complex can help you address and overcome it.

While I recognise that people can be victims, it is not a good idea to believe that everyone is against you. It’s critical to recognise when this mindset is holding you back and seek help or therapy to work through these emotions. By changing your perspective and taking control of your own narrative, you can break free from the victimhood cycle. These people can be some of the most difficult coworkers to get along with.

It is good to make friends, but one should be careful of the motivations of their co-workers.

OP used to work with ‘Mary’ at a tech startup, and their co-worker seemed to be a soft-spoken and nice person.

Mary seemed like a kind person, but she also always felt like everyone was against her.

So when the company’s VP made a mean joke to her, she wasn’t too thrilled and told the CEO immediately.

While the mean jokes stopped, a similar thing happened again when a customer complained about Mary.

Rather than taking the criticism, Mary felt like everyone was siding with her, and when she brought this up to the CEO, she was fired.

This made her quite angry, and she started to burn every bridge and even started insulting OP, who was only trying to be supportive.

Mary didn’t stop there either and spread a bunch of false rumours about OP to the director as well.

The director, however, wasn’t taking Mary at her word, and since OP had always been an ideal employee, none of the rumours made sense.

This is when Mary realised that by burning all of these bridges, she would have difficulty in the future, so she tried to backpedal.

Mary once again tried to solve everything and tried to make nice with OP, but by this point, OP also knew about the rumours she had spread.

At the end of the day, Mary left the company crying and left all of her stuff at her desk, too ashamed to face anyone.

Mary actually went from 0 to 100. According to the OP’s words, she seemed like a wonderful person with a few quirks. However, this changed when she was fired. Furthermore, believing that everyone is against you is not a healthy mindset to have. None of this would have occurred if she hadn’t gone running to the boss whenever she suspected someone was against her. It’s critical to remember that not everyone is out to get you, and you must maintain a positive attitude in the workplace. Even in the end, if she had simply kept her mouth shut, she might have been able to turn things around in her favour.

Of course, we had to start with a pun.

Nobody can always be the victim.

Even if you use the real name, what can they even do?

Just because someone has a victim complex doesn’t always make them a bad person overall.

However, sometimes you need to let go of these ‘friends’.

A lot of people walk out immediately.

That does sound like a fun time.

You have to admit that she really tried her best to backpedal.
