Self Pity

We all have self pity. It's a part of us. But sometimes instead of choosing to allow yourself to feel sorry for yourself you should stand up for your happiness. I don't think having a mental illness is self pity. I just think that sometimes if you want people to care, going to someone and talking about yourself like you're completely hopeless comes off as extremely self pitying. I'm not saying don't do it ever cause people need to be dependent sometimes, but I'm saying son't do it so often that other people can't handle it. Honestly, recently I've realized that I've had a lot of self pity and it's really disgusting. like I think it's awful. I need to start standing up for myself and stop being so scared. So do you.
