But this is not what it's meant by "learned helplessness". You are describing an unrelated phenomenon. Learned helplessness has nothing to do with feigning helplessness to get what you want; it's instead about giving up and accepting a harmful situation that is perceived as unavoidable.

Interestingly enough, the definitions of hopelessness and despair are circular references to each other: hopelessness | ˈhōpləsnəs | noun a feeling or state of despair; lack of hope despair | dəˈsper | noun the complete loss or absence of hope Huh, weird
