I'm averse to self-pity. I always make the exercise of analyzing myself, in most situations of life, whether or not I’m feeling sorry for myself. And when I think I am, I immediately tell myself to stop (it's what happens when we live alone, we always end up talking to ourselves :)).
I think it's important for our personal growth not to give ourselves the chance to self-pity. It's useless and only leaves us unhappy and helpless. We always learn from others and from others I have learned that self-pity it's a dead end. It's a "calimerocomplex" that clouds our judgment and the will to move on.
Before we walk this path, we must first ask ourselves if and where we were wrong and, being so (and often isn't), correct the course with self-esteem and positive spirit. And forgive whatever is left to forgive.
Let's go our way, putting self-pity aside and making perseverance and attitude our best allies.
Because the way is ahead of us, it's not worth stopping to lick our wounds or cry over spilled milk.
If we have to stop, then it should be to contemplate and be grateful for the wonders that surround us.
