****************************
From the above link:
1. Start with circumstance
Now, of course you can throw a pity party for the heck of it, but usually to pity yourself to the degree of an actual party you need to have a motive.
2. Loathe and pity yourself
To do this right you need to loathe yourself and your situation, but instead of letting that angry fester to maybe even inspire you to do something about it, let it bubble up but then quickly turn it into pity.
Ask yourself, why did this happen to you?
Why is your life so miserable?
Why is everyone unfair to you?
How is this fair?
Questions like that will fuel the pity, and just make sure you keep the pity going, if someone tries to talk to you deny everything positive they say.
3. Crawl under your comforter
It’s safe here.
LOL.
I only wish my friend’s Indian clients knew how they are mocked behind their backs. Even by libs! Constant jokes about fire water, reservations, tepees, you name it.
