Having anxiety just trying to get my kids ready to go to a bday party. Thanks to this video reminding me "I GET TO DO THIS" as an opportunity to socialize my children regardless my issues. "I CHOOSE TO DO THIS", this is not a dreadful enslaving activity. This is a healthy CHOICE.
Thank you for being honest. I realize I have been struggling with self-pity, without even noticing it. I never really understood what it was before. I understand that healing takes time, but I am determined to overcome this way of thinking. This video was eye-opening and I look forward to watching more of your content.
Some people are not even aware that they need to take responsibility for there lives because they are never taught . Some people want to, but they don't even know how to take responsibility and they are too ashamed to ask for help . it's kind of complex but it has to be done .
Mark, I have been in self pity my whole life and I am in counseling. Thank you that I have the option of having self compassion on myself because I didn’t think I did. 😊. Thank you for your wisdom. I plan on moving through this and stop feeling sorry for myself.
Thank you so much! I recently discovered through a class at my church that I have self pity. And I was like you, I marched into church on Thursday night, and told the lady who told me about the class, “I have self pity!” With a big grin on my face. Lol. Since I have recognized it, I am very mindful of it. I googled sermon on self pity, and your show came up. I really appreciate your teaching on this!
I am 64 years young, single and had declared on a comment hear on another video many months ago just how much better I was feeling within myself regarding mental state of mind etc and how thought I was over the worst of it after being crippled on and off since a teenager with depression anxiety. The last few recent months I've fallen back into old negative thought , feelings and self destructive behaviour patterns that I believed were mostly behind me . God's Love Peace and Joy began to leave me and deep loneliness crept back into my inner being . Unbelievable sense of loneliness and emotional shutdown , fear obsessive thinking on the past , self hate and as this videos subject speaks on ...self pity . It's awful experiencing all this again . Marks young daughter was so on the ball how she expressed her self-pity moments. " Easy , it's when I don't get my way ". Such a straight forward and unashamedly truthful answer from this wise girl . All of Marks teachings being based around the Heart Healing Journey are so much needed for my understanding of my relationship and emotional life problems . It's just that I've been on this 'journey' for so long now on and off and feel I'm no closer to living free in the Agape Love of God , I'm feeling I've had enough of it all as I've again self pitied myself into a corner feeling overwhelmed by my misperceived but seemingly real idea of being separated from Gods Love and presence as much as I am from any human relationships. I'm only half an hour into this video and all that has already been said and explained by Mark I know is true ; I just feel so numb and hopeless about coming through and out of this dark period again . "Please Father God , open my spiritual ears , eyes and heart now to humbly receive what Mark is saying regarding self pity , it's origins and symptoms. Without the assurance of Christ and His Love now in me helping me through this mess , I've no hope . I know intellectually you are the Way , the Life and the Truth and that no one can come to the Father but through You . My heart needs to know that Truth aswell. Thank you Heavenly Father for loving me in my worst days , weeks and months. And Bless this Ministry so more broken believers can be set free from a lifetime of bondages, addictions, stinking thinking , fears and extreme loneliness....Amen " 🇬🇧🆓🇱🇷✝️
Thank you for this material! I struggle in this area and want to put in the work to break the cycle. I’ve read two of Mark’s books, “God Loves Me and I Love Myself” and “Exposing the Rejection Mindset.” I could relate to so much in the books and felt like I gained valuable insight into my negative thinking patterns. Thank you Mark!!!
I used to think, that I knew, I didn't have a problem with self-pity, but if I did, it wasn't something that affected me. I was sure that if I saw it, I would just reject it or avoid any self-pitying thoughts. However, after watching this video, God has shown me that self-pity has affected me deeply and in many areas. Thank you for this video. Understanding that it is not something that can get 'fixed' with a flip of a light switch, overcoming this is now part of my journey!
Sir. Again. This is the 2nd teaching from you that I have been ruminating....have been listening for the last 2 days. I feel glad and simultaneously scared, bcz I see myself all over this, and it's so crippling that i dread the thought of not getting out from its clutch. Anyways, I will have to take the lessons as a systematic, careful process over the next few weeks, bcz I WILL BE FREE OF THIS!!! Thank you sooooo much Mark. God is definitely using your work
Revisiting this video (again) because it's so good, this entire playlist is fantastic. Specifically I love the analogy of being behind an invisible wall unable to take in love and nurture from others. I also liked the part about the microphone feedback. You are SO... GOOD... at explaining the reasons and processes, and unlike so much self-help that's out there, you lay out realistic means of growth rather than ignoring the solution, offering a quick fix, or referring people to a medical professional. I could go on but I'd run out of text to highlight all the things that spoke to me in this recording.
Self-pity makes one speak death into one's lives hmm!!!! is like reversing the power of one's tongue from speaking life into one's problems. instead, we speak death into our problems and we end up eating the fruits it produces instead of speaking life into our problems by using God's words .. Man, the devil is a liar ...
This is spot on.....Its me ..I got there slowly. I kept trying to figure out what my struggle was and started recognizing my own self pity. I have to fx this.
Very interesting and insightful video! Thank you for breaking this down. It gave me chills to hear the people say that the rebuilding of the temple will bring about peace and worship to one god..Revelation coming to life!
This is very helpful. I was struggling to understand why I was told I had self pity and when I actually was having it and this has caused me to spin for several months. The quotes, lists and Biblical examples really helped. Also, the mention of spiritual abuse. I threw self pity at my recovery group and sponsor for self protection and also, I thought relating to people through problems was the expectation. I couldn't figure out what was accurate assessment from others and what was false accusation. I struggled to take my own inventory. I bought all the books and find that information helpful too. I looked up the words but I still didn't get it. I look forward to the recommended courses. Thanks for gently demystifying this topic. Now I feel ready to rid my life of self pity. Thanks also for the recommendation for the Jezebel course. I thought I was supposed to talk only about difficulty because if I share the good things in my life or the accomplishments I worked for, I fear attack.
Yes I struggle with self-pity and have for most of my life. There were those who would tell me, as a young child, to hold my head up, I never really understood what they were talking about. As I got older, before the military, I stopped showing what was going on in my head. To me it was showing weakness. As I look over the past 60 odd years I see only a wasteland. I see the waste of the tool that God granted me, I never knew how to access them and that's basically because of fear of failure.
I’ve been watching and listening to all your material and gaining a lot of insight, but couldn’t get the ‘key’ I was missing. This is it! Like you in the airplane, I’m currently sitting in my office wanting to scream it from the rooftops!
So much truth that hurts couldn't wait for video end but started to see pig pen in me...awesome know love it. Some parts I just bust out laughing parts you went through yourself it made me feel good about myself .
Thank you very much for being so candid and straight forward. It was VERY eye opening and refreshing! I am looking forward to the work, now that I understand my issue with self-pity 💪🏼

So happy for you. I relate to what you shared here. I pray grace and love continue to wash over your journey.
Wailing and demonic jiu-jitsu. That's great. I love that you keep it real. Once we recognize our unhealthy thinking we can laugh at our own nonsense.
This maybe the single best video I’ve ever watched, and believe me, I’ve been in the “self help” world for what seems forever. Thank you.
Some people are not even aware that they need to take responsibility for there lives because they are never taught . Some people want to, but they don't even know how to take responsibility and they are too ashamed to ask for help . it's kind of complex but it has to be done .
Re- watching this again because it's sooo deep
Listening to Gospel music sometimes helps
Thank you Mark for always being truthful and helping us navigate through our mental health, and spiritual problems.
I was asked to watch this video and another for counseling homework. It’s so painful I have to finish later.
Mark, I have been in self pity my whole life and I am in counseling. Thank you that I have the option of having self compassion on myself because I didn’t think I did. 😊. Thank you for your wisdom. I plan on moving through this and stop feeling sorry for myself.

If I say, 'This is SO VERY powerful', it is not adequate to express how SOOOO VERY POWERFUL this teaching is!
“Watching the world live…” yes! So true!
Thank you for this material! I struggle in this area and want to put in the work to break the cycle.

Thank you, Mark. Seeing this is my life right now. Was wondering what's been going on with me.
These teachings is soo top notch you're just hitting every nail in the head .

Mark, thank you THANK YOU. This brought so much revelation!

I watched this livestream LIVE, last year, and God worked through this powerful teaching, and He gave me breakthrough in my heart healing journey!
Best video on self pity ever
Productive sharing and processing. This teaching is helping me so much.
So glad. I know it has helped saved areas of my life.

How will we live as overcomers, if there isn’t something to overcome? 💪🙌
Very interesting and insightful video! Thank you for breaking this down. It gave me chills to hear the people say that the rebuilding of the temple will bring about peace and worship to one god..Revelation coming to life!

Are over sensitive people masking underlying self pity?.
