I’m not asking for anyone’s pity.
I certainly don’t deserve it.
No, scratch that. I know I am pathetic. So, I guess I do deserve pity.
What I don’t deserve is compassion.
Then why do I feel so insulted when I feel pitied?
And why do I feel a bit better (comforted) when I perceive empathy even when I know I don't deserve it?
