Feeling like a victim

Is it just me, or does it feel great to feel like an angry victim?  The feeling of being helpless and powerless and then feeling fully righteous in blaming everyone else for it.  It is a sticky tarpit that I get caught in all the time, and now I am in the process of learning how to just be okay with that and recognize it for the sob story that it is.  Just another illusion for me to get caught up in and keep me out of the present moment.
