Old Testament and New Testament.

Well, off the top of my head there are a couple of passages you might want to consider, at least from the New Testament (below). When we get into self pity, overly absorbed self-scrutiny, we are taking our eyes off the one who made us. Look up, and look out, and abandon the self-pity trip.
"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment" (Romans 12:3).
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." (Philippians 2:3-4).

I don't know what the New or the Old Testament say's about it but I do know what I think about it.
It's a "PITY".
I never in my 71 years have accepted pity or being a martyr.
I am not a victim and I am not to be pitied.
The above is my definition. Hope I understood your question.
Thanks for the question. You have some good answers.

" Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. " Romans 15:13
That is a good one. I also heard something good but it isn't scripture...
Never feel sorry for someone who is woeful, for they only think of themselves.
Sounds kind of compassionate -- not. I guess there's a balance...

Pay more tithes so the pastor's son can drive a Lexus.
