OK. I was wrong. I apologize.

Just in case English isn't your first language, "Feeling sorry for yourself" carries a derisive tone. When someone says, "Stop feeling sorry for yourself," it's basically like saying, "Stop whining, weakling!"

I have to assume that's not at all what you meant. I don't think you deserved to lose all your karma over a misunderstanding.
