I often hear (or read) people say, after something bad's happened to them, that they HATE people pitying them, that pity is the last thing they want. Am I somehow weird since I'm the complete opposite - to me, people feeling bad for me (when it's actually warranted, of course) actually feels good. I wonder if there are others out there who feel the same way?

I just find it human to feel sorry and bad for someone when they're suffering..
