I'm a 'program person' (AA) where the expression 'pity party' is often used. However, I'd heard it long before AA, and IMHO if used seriously, it is a judgemental finger-point at someone who feels bad.
I think the use of that expression should carry criminal penalties. If someone feels bad, that's just a fact of life, and if shaming someone who feels bad was an effective mood elevator, we'd ALL be feeling great, because we are the first to shame ourselves!! IMHO, of course. Same goes for judging and/or criticizing someone who feels bad.
So, if you, Dreamer, are feeling bad or low or sad or not-happy-in-general, I will send you wishes and energy for feeling better when you can.
