Self Pity Defined
You’ve probably seen me talk about Self Pity and how it can ruin your progress and/or life. Before we talk about whether or not you’re living with it, let’s define exactly what self pity is. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, self pity is “a self-indulgent dwelling on one’s own sorrows or misfortunes” or an expanded version from Wikipedia is, “… an emotion in which one feels sympathy, sorrow, and pity toward the self in regards to one’s own internal and external experiences of suffering. Self-pity has also been defined as an emotion “directed towards others with the goal of attracting attention, empathy, or help.”
