I agree, you lack the understanding and empathy in regards of what others have gone through. It takes a lot more work than just "pulling up your bootstraps" as the previous poster has said. Everyone going through life on Earth has vastly different experiences, and a few are easier to recover from while others take years of hard work. They take time with support from mental health professional and trusted friends. It's sure as heck nowhere near "one size fits all" as you seem to be implying, and it's not something you can brush off your shoulder and be done with it in just a day as you also seem to be implying.
We don't want to sit around feeling sorry for ourselves, and it goes so much deeper than that. The hurtful words and actions inflicted upon us by others, whether they be peers or acquaintances or even family members, go so deep. They scar us to the bones and it will take years for them to fade away, if they ever do. But, it's most likely the scars and hurt won't ever diminish; and we sure as hell do want to get better. It's going to take a lot of hard work and support by other caring individuals. We are not feeling sorry for ourselves.
If anything, we feel sorry for our tormentors. For some reason that only God knows, they chose to live life the way they have, inflicting pain upon others. We can only pray for their Judgement day.
So who are you to say we are this or that?
