What do you think about self pity? ?

Question

im not sure about all people who are depressed, but i have finally decided that i am due to feeling sorry for myself. im 19 and i just started my sophmore year today and havent made many friends. i saw someone who i know and he didnt look too interested in seeing me. anyway i got kind of depressed and thought, "whats wrong with me? im such a loser." but then i thought to myself, who ******* cares? so stupid. i wont make any friends feeling sorry for myself because doing so only makes me feel worse. i think feeling sorry for ones self is easier than actually trying to be a happier person. so what is your story?

Answer 1

Sweetie if this is your biggest problem, you really need to stop and think about your priorities.  

Answer 2

Feeling sorry for yourself only makes people feel sorry for you, which gets you temporary friends but they are only your friends for that reason and once your back again you'll be known not as a friend, but as a 'loser/loner'. When you saw that friend you knew why do you expect him to be interested in seeing you? He probably has the same problem as you, and thought the same thing you did. Next time just go, smile and say hi and trust me you will be rewarded for being a good person.

Answer 3

I think self pity is like sitting in a rocking chair, it takes a lot of energy to get no where.  I think it is a waste of time and energy that could be put to use being and doing.  Almost everyone experiences times when they feel sorry for themselves, but wallowing in self-pity only breeds self-contempt and attracts more situations that make you feel sorry for your plight.  I think it is much easier to live in gratitude and appreciation because they work together to attract situations and events that bring more of the same.

Self-pity never leads to a benificial outcome.... never........

Believe me I've been there, you always blame yourself.. you're so sensitive to the point where you pity yourself and you pity yourself more for pitying yourself. It's a vicious circle. It has to stop somewhere for your own good.

In my life, I focuse on the outcome and consequences in order to evaluate any situation or thought.

My Q is: What has self-pity brought to you?

Stop it and Good Luck

Never give up on yourself

Decide to be happier and stick to the plan.
