Question:

What is the upside of self-pity?

we all do it or have done it at least once if not a million times - so there must be some GREAT benefit or gain or pay off to self-pity.

But what the heck is it?????


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Well, it shows that you have a capacity for compassion, and that you truly want to be your own best friend, which compliments self help gurus everywhere and sells more books. If we don't show a willingness & interest to care about what happens to us, who the heck will?
