I guess you are right... but I swear, as the Merciful Goddess is my witness, this particular person was... a wallower. Self-pity was her thing. It just got fecking old after a while, you know? Especially after having been through the shit I've been through in my life. After a while, I just wanted to shake her! Not very Buddhist of me, I admit... *lol*
I really hope I wasn't that insufferable at that age. I remember being kind of smug -- I was probably (well, ok, I was) guilty of that. But not that tragic pose, I don't think. But then, life hadn't really started to beat the crap out of me at that point. *lol* But honestly, I think if you can't keep your sense of humor about things, you might as well just pack it in. *shrugs*
