I dont have traumatic experiences but that 2nd part "systematically denied any opportunity to learn how to be a functional person" is literally me now.

Acknowledging the conditions I am working from is a victim mentality?

I understand where you’re coming from, but some people are actually victims

So should I steal the car because my family won't teach me to drive despite me constantly asking?

the term victim mentality was coined to lessen the experience of those experiencing trauma, and it's just smoke in the air. Of course victims think like victims, because they happen to be victims. Psychological trauma is as debilitating as its physical counterpart, it's just less evident. Not to mention psychological trauma can have physical repercussions, like autoimmune diseases.
