Nope, still don't think your a beotch.

I have a hard time with self pity for any reason, mine or someone elses. I believe very strongly in making the best of what life deals you. Some things you can change and some things you can't but you do the best you can regardless.

Both my children are ADD and I have always told them not to use the ADD as an excuse for what you can't do or things you have trouble doing.

As far as the show you watched. I'm overwieght, have struggled with my weight for most of my life but in the end it's my choice to eat unhealthy or not.

What I have found to be true most of the time.....those that "wallow" in self pity are stuck. It could be depression over whatever is going on. It can also be that they are "stuck" in a cycle that you could even find in more than one family member.

Self-pity is also a way of thinking and until a person changes the way they think it will continue.
