Do you like being pitied?

[deucher]

I think this often happens to children when they are pitied after they have fallen or something else bad happened to them, but there are also adults who like being pitied. I can't say that I love it, but sometimes I just like the attention that is given to me

Everyone is a victim, including people who like to bash victims. Tell me that's not the truth! What are some examples of this phenomenon?
