You'll need to think about this. You actually need synonyms for TWO words ... "faking" and "victim."
Pretending to be hurt.
Another word for playing the victim is "feigning victimhood" or "adopting a victim mentality." These terms describe the act of portraying oneself as a victim in order to gain sympathy, manipulate others, or avoid taking responsibility for one's actions. To find alternative words for a particular phrase or concept, you can use a thesaurus.
