What is the difference? I am not a native English speaker, but I've often heard the expression "feeling sorry for yourself" as being negative. It's often used to people who are sad and angry for prolonged periods after a divorce or losing someone. Since I've experienced divorce and it destroyed me mentally the expression seems to apply to me and it makes me feel like my feelings are wrong. But I can't help it, it's not like I love feeling mental anguish every day and waking up to hearing myself crying in the morning. How can I stop "feeling sorry for myself" if someone could explain what that means? Or is it just an expression that invalidates all depression?
