self PITY
DEFINITIOn
Self-pity is an emotion which is self-destructive.
Constantly feeling sorrow for yourself because of your problems and suffering.
In extreme cases it is a symptom of egotism and narcissism - self obsession as a way of life.
It may be the result of grief or clinical depression, and will have to be viewed differently then, but usually it stems from a weak self-confidence and needs to be overcome in the process of becoming a mature adult.
SPIRITUAL APPROACH
"Persistent self-pity is a product of the Fall."
