Self-pity is an emotion in which one feels self-centered sorrow and pity toward the self in regards to one's own internal and external experiences of suffering. Self-pity has also been defined as an emotion "directed towards others with the goal of attracting attention, empathy, or help".
"Self-pity is the opposite of self-esteem. It arises because you feel no one will lift you out of your difficulties." - Deepak Chopra
