Do you think some people can get addicted to feeling sorry for themselves? [I Dont Like Small Talk]

If the ego can not find anything to be especially good at it is content being especially miserable. It's all about attention.

Yes. You can tell it on posts here.

Someone will start off with a legitimate whine/rant/complaint/callitwhatyouwant, they'll get some attention/sympathy. Next day it'll be the same shit only slightly less legitimate, and so on until they stop getting the attention/sympathy they're craving

Yes, the victim syndrome

I think some people fall into that mode. Some get stuck there.

There's no question about that.

Yes. Definitely

Absolutely! I knew a guy that was like that.. It was extremely hard to be a part of his life because of all the negativity that he focused on so I had no choice but to cut him out.. You can only do so much..

yep or blame others syndrome, its all about playing victimhood

Definitely,I know a few who did.

Yes I think so

Yes, I do think that happens sometimes.
