Some people are more vulnerable than others and like the predators that they are, abusers will find vulnerable people.  It's difficult to present a list and say "Here are some typical victim behaviors", because to some people, that will imply - wrongly - that the person who is being victimized is to blame. 

It is not their fault.  They've done nothing to deserve the treatment they're getting. Women who suffer from low self esteem will blame themselves for an abusive relationship. It's a double whammy- low self esteem can set you up as a target and will keep you in an abusive relationship.  Are you vulnerable? Here is a list of some behaviors that may indicate low self esteem.  If you compare them to the traits of an abusive person you'll see how these two personalities fit together. 

• Compliments make you uncomfortable.
• Accept the blame too easily.
  
• Spend a lot of time apologizing.
• Have a hard time dealing with guilt.
• Very critical of your own mistakes, but not other people's.

• Can't understand people who believe that life owes them something and you might resent them.
