Learned helplessness is the behavior exhibited by an organism after it has been subjected to uncomfortable and inescapable situations a number of times, so much so that it stops trying to avoid the situation - this is when it has learned to be helpless. This behavior is linked with an external locus of control, as the individual perceives that the events that unfold are out of their control and that their efforts are futile.
