In deed the afflicted party imagines

[GoodTaste]

Beggar mentality is characterised by a diminished sense of responsibility of one’s role in a situation or even one’s own circumstances. This responsibility is instead transferred to another party. In deed the afflicted party imagines that they and not the other party solely have problems.
