Self-pity is an icky liquid you swim around in when you blame the
world for your problems.
People who wallow in self-pity usually go around in a bad mood, feeling sorry for themseleves, feeling they've been wronged some how. They only care about
poor little them. They failed because of someone or something else. They
don't own up to their own faults.
Darnell: If the teachers in my
school would have payed me more attention and
got the big bullies off my back, then I wouldn't have been full of self-pity, dropped out, robbed that store, killed 3 people including a child, and got into a police chase that lasted 4 hours and 23 minutes then became an on-foot pursuit through a backyard in the projects where I was tackled then sentenced to prison where I'm getting my ass slamed for 237 years and cleaning the
toilet with a toothbrush for my cellmate named Deshawn who makes me pee sitting down.
