Regretful soothing words dat you administer to someone else to supposedly make him feel better about a situation, but in reality you merely feel sorry for YOURSELF.
A classic "selfish sympathy" example, from an old "Peanuts" comic:
Schroeder, in exasperation at Lucy's pushy "over-attentiveness": Do you know what Beethoven never had?!
Lucy: What?
Schroeder, rantingly waving his arms above his head: Beethoven never had girls hanging on to his piano and bugging him about giving them presents!
Lucy, mildly shocked: He DIDN'T?! (pauses to ponder this fact) Poor Beethoven!

Hym "And I didn't say Hitler was right, I said Hitler did the Jewish religion... To the Jews... Like, literally. Extra special race, chosen by God, to rule over the Holyland-er- Motherland (why do I keep doing that?). So I CAN'T be a Nazi sympathizer. To be a Nazi sympathizer I'd have to be a Judaism sympathizer... And we all know how I feel about the Jews... That the women are sexy and the religion is an evil racial supremacy doctrine.... I mean... You see the Genocide they're doing right now, right? AGAIN! The Young Turks and their supporters were ALSO (mostly) Jews! And they Genocided the Armenians! That's genocide number 2! They've done twice as many genocides as Hitler now! BUUUUUUUT.... Yeah, no, the conservatives might be a LITTLE MORE NAZI ADJACENT than I previously thought... Ok. Fine. You were right. They're pretty Nazi like. BUUUUUT (Again) THAT'S STILL ALL DOWNSTREAM OF THE JEW DERIVATIVE RELIGION! So, I'm still kind of right! Yahweh is like the original Nazi!"
