It’s often easy to feel mentally strong when life is going well, but at
times problems arise. A job loss, a natural disaster, an illness in the
family, or a death of a loved one is sometimes inevitable. When
you’re mentally strong, you’ll be more prepared to deal with life’s
challenges.
Unfortunately, misery loves company, and sometimes self-pity
becomes a bragging right. A conversation can turn into a contest,
with the person who has experienced the most trauma earning the
badge of victory. Self-pity can also provide a reason to avoid
responsibility. Telling your boss how bad your life is may stem
from hopes that less will be expected from you.
Sometimes self-pity becomes an act of defiance. It’s almost as if
we assume that something will change if we dig in our heels and
remind the universe that we deserve better. But that’s not how the
world works. There isn’t a higher being—or a human being for that matter—who will swoop in and make sure we’re all dealt a fair hand
in life.
One of the habits of mentally strong people is they dont feel sorry for themselves
