Why Toxic People Weaponize Victimhood

from Dinner with the Dead! · host Nick and Sharon Pavlovits

Some people don't just play the victim -- they weaponize it. In this deep dive, we break down the psychology behind how toxic individuals flip the script, turning their own harmful behavior into a shield of manufactured suffering. From DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) to covert narcissism, we examine the mechanics of how guilt is engineered, empathy is exploited, and accountability is avoided. If you've ever walked away from a confrontation feeling like the bad guy when you weren't -- this episode will connect the dots.
