Self-pity

Self-pity(sp), why do I enjoy sp?

Where did I learn sp?
-----
What is self-pity for you Eric?

SP is me feeling bad for myself and me wanting others to feel bad for me as well.

Why do you feel bad for yourself and want others to feel bad for you?

I don't know.

What do you get out of feeling bad for yourself and others feeling bad for you?

I use sp as an excuse to not take self-responsibility, and by not taking self-responsibility I eliminate my risk of failing at something and being judged for not being perfect. So sp is my excuse to do nothing, an excuse to not have to 'take chances' and fear judgment.

What will happen if you 'fail' at something?

Well, I will be judged for it and that will mean i am not perfect.

Who will judge you?

I don't know - myself, i will judge myself. so this fear of judgment is just me judging me, me comparing me to others. Somewhere I created the idea that I must be perfect. I am using SP to hide me from myself, to hide me from who i 'really' am because I fear who i am.

Why do you fear who you 'really' are?

I fear who I 'really' am because it is unknown, and i don't know if I will still be a good person and i know i am not perfect like I want to be.

Why do you want to be perfect?

So i don't get judged as being less then others(inferior).

Where did you get this idea of being less then others?

From media and my environment. People that have financial wealth are looked at as superior to others, and i nor my family have ever been financially wealthy thus I feared judgment from some of my elementary school friends that had wealthy parents and nice and big homes and nice cars.

Who where these friends?

Hunter and Philip, two neighborhood/school friends that I rarely let them come to my house out of shame of my house being old and messy and us not having as much money as them. I realize this self-pity, fear of failure/judgment for being less then others and fear of facing who i really am is all an illusion a learned belief which i have accepted and allowed myself to be and become.

So you use self-pity as an excuse to not take self-responsibility out of fear of judgment for not being perfect/being less then others if you where to 'fail'. So you fear who you 'really' are, because who you really are may not be 'perfect' and may "fail".

What do you get out of others having pity for you?

I feel it is all the same, self-pity and pity from others...pity whether from myself or others allows me to use it for all of the above reasons.
However me wallowing in self-pity allows me to not have to take self-responsibility and face who i really am because wallowing in pity takes up all of my time, thus excusing me from looking at myself and moving myself into action.

And pity from others does have the added 'benefit' of attention.

What do you get out of the attention from others?

Validation to not have to take action/self-responsibility because i am in such a 'pit' that someone else has to actually take care of me. So the attention just validates my non-movement.

I see. So back to this fear of being less then. So from what i understand this fear of inferiority/fear of judgment started when you where in grade school out of fear of judgment of your friends having 'more' then you, and your idea from the media that wealthy/people are superior to those with 'less'.

Yes. So i want to recap this for myself.

I use self-pity as an excuse to not have to take self-responsibility.

I don't want to take self-responsibility because i fear facing who i 'really' am.

I fear facing who I 'really' am because i don't know who i really am and fear that who i 'really' am is not perfect/is less then others.

I fear being less then others because i fear judgment from them, however really it is just me judging myself due to learned beliefs of superiority and inferiority which i now realize is an illusion and is not real.

Purpose

purpose(anxiety) vibrates in me, even in this very moment sitting here looking at the forum and youtube.....'am i waisting my time, should i be doing something more productive"' "More productive"-meaning doing something that shows my movement within this world, something that i can show and say - 'see look what i am doing'. Something that feeds the system.
I STOP as i realise this anxiety(purpose) is not 'real' It is accepted and allowed pre-programing/pre-conditioning. Pre-conditionig/pre-programing so the robots(me/humanity) will continue to feed money and power to those that wish to control us by living our life 'purpose' of keeping the machine working.
