“Pity Party” is a colloquialism and metaphor. It is used to describe a person who is trapped in a state of mind where they are pitting themselves for what has gone wrong. This person can be eating a tub of ice cream while thinking “poor me”, or they could be playing video games while feeling sorry for themselves. In some respects it is a lonely party for one, a very very lonely party, where the person just feels sorry for themselves and their state of existence. Leamo Cooper, had one heck of a pity party after she fell off Red (a naturally healthy reaction), but, was able to recognize her self-pity; and with the help of Red and Tony, managed to pull herself out and get back in the saddle!
