When was the last time you pity yourself?

Well I just did! I won't be saying the reason why, but I would like to talk about the feeling. When I pity myself, I wanted to cry. But there are no tears coming out of my eyes. Well I guess they'd all dried out since I never cried for years. But deep inside me I am crying. I imagine myself crying and thinking how helpless I am and how mis-fortunate. How about you? When was the last time you pity yourself? Did you cry? I think crying can be helpful.

I think i have. I mean it would be very rare that we find a person who has not really felt that way. There are really times that we will have our emotional moments and we do need that sometimes, just not the self destructive way of course.

Well self pity is a human instinct. But then if you have all the satisfaction in life, then you might not experience such thing. But then there is no perfect satisfaction a man can have. Good Day!

yes crying always helps. in fact i try to have a good cry as it seems to clear out my thinking. then i listen to some good upbeat music and try to remember good things i did during that time. i really wish id been able to cry away my illness lately. but it didnt happen. sooner or later the sun comes out tho.

It was a long time ago. That's when I learned that pitying yourself won't help you. Always remember that don't let anyone step on you no matter what the reason is or whoever is doing it. Always clear your reputation of any dirt anyone dumps at it or your ego will suffer.

It happened years ago and actually i don't want to think about it anymore, but i do want to share the feelings. I was alone when i learned about it . So i cried and cried in our bedroom. I talked to God about it, as if i was trying to get HIm to defend me or comfort me. I was crying whilei was doing it. Then , after that i have no more tears to shed and after praying i had my courage . I waited for my husband and when he arrived i let him eat and when we are about to sleep, i told him about it. It was the worst time of my life but i am glad it's over . . . . and i shut my mind from thinking about it anymore. What i can truly say, is that there is God to comfort us . . .help us. . .

I shed a little tear sometimes when I'm sad but honestly self pity has never been part of my vocabulary, self pity shows on outward appearance without the person knowing it causing more people to step and take advantage of you. Self pity blurs the mind depriving it of the ability to make important decisions in order to spring back to life and get on track. Forget self pity friend, use that energy to get back at what ever is causing that self pity
