Let’s be honest; we’ve all been in situations where someone expects us to feel sorry for them.

We all have bad days at work, but there are some people who seem to complain constantly about their jobs. They gripe about their boss, coworkers, workload or salary without ever really trying to do anything constructive or meaningful about it. Sure, hearing someone vent can be cathartic in short bursts but after a while ‘it gets old‘. Instead of being grateful they have employment even if disagreeable ones may bore you because let’s face it–sometimes we just hate listening.

When a Friend Complains About Their Romantic Partner

At some point or another, we’ve all had a friend who’s vented to us about their romantic partner.

But when your friend argues that significant other would come totally around if ‘they’d just learned how to control them‘ – this does not necessarily merit comfort given as pity means friends forming alliances at expense of exhausting emotional effort and eventually dissipating.

Knowing this distinguishes empathy from the self-validation that most seek when they expect others to ‘feel sorry for them’.
