People seem to feel that empathy and pity are two separate things. But since I simply can't do either of them, I do think they are connected. I never actually understood what self pity is. I mean what it is on a deeper level. I see people being self pitying but that is just me looking in.

At the same time, self pity seems to exclude empathy.
