A particular variation of the victim card in which a person gains sympathy or social status by amassing experiences of perceived sleights or injustices. Grievance-collecting can be entirely fabricated, true, or a mix of the two. Grievance-collectors can never forgive or see another side of the story, because surrendering any grievance would result in loss of power over other people. Grievance-collecting can be personal, or part of a politically correct group dynamic. Urban Dictionary

When your minority status, or "otherness", out trumps another's. Urban Dictionary

The rights to have a grievance against a company, political or religious institution. Urban Dictionary

Laying pipe to someone who is grieving and in an inconsolable state to make them feel better Urban Dictionary

A feeling of emptiness or void after watching a show or movie that would have typically occupied your time and knowing that it ended and knowing all the characters will never be seen again. Urban Dictionary

A psychological decision to compound every new adverse event as another excuse to grow one's own sense of aggrieved victimhood. It can be seen in individuals, groups or entire countries. Grievance whirlpool sufferers have a manifest lack of resilience, "build a bridge and get over it" does not compute. They are so fragile they will distort any: exhortation to effort, admonishment to compliance, correction of error, criticism of ideas, limitation of privileges and application of just punishment as an equally invalid personal and cumulative attack.
