>victimhood mentality
Does this kind of pseudo-self-help-tough-love help anyone? Whenever I read something like that I do not feel motivated but enraged. Sometimes people are really victims. Mainly of chance.

Did I make a generalization? I am specifically talking about the OP.
This person is not a victim of chance, obviously. They tried hard [hopefully] and it didn't work, and then blamed everyone else.
What did they try to do? Get rich via a startup.
No one on the planet is entitled to millions of dollars. Very likely they can get a job for $100k+ - better than most Americans.
Yet even then - they blamed everyone else. You don't win by blaming others. If you can't admit your own faults, you're doomed as a startup founder.
It doesn't matter if this was chance or not, but I assure you this circumstance had nothing to do with luck.
Yes, there is a lot of research in this area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindset#Fixed_and_growth_minds...
I interpret is as being able to ask yourself "what did I learn" when you fail; and realizing that most success comes from trying over and over. ("Most" because some people are lucky and succeed the first time.)
In general, people who adopt the growth mindset, (see the link,) are more successful.
I did see the link. Nothing about success, tiny bit about school performance. Have you seen the link?
"I tried everything [I was supposed to]" "But no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to get anywhere." "It was as if the world was against me" "no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make any progress" "It was like I didn't even exist in the world of entrepreneurship." "please don't be fooled by the false promises"
Blaming everyone but themselves. They sound very entitled and they claim that they deserve it. Sorry. That's not how you win and that's not how any of this works.
