Never let others drag you down, no matter what the circumstances. Everyone has their problems, circumstances, and challenges in life; some choose to wallow in them, and others choose to rise above them.
Every time you choose to review and revive your circumstances, you're forcing yourself to live them again. You don't need to continue to relive your problems, you need to choose to rise above them. For some people it's spiritual guidance, for others it's grabbing their own bootstraps, pulling themselves up, dusting themselves off and moving forward. Bottom line-if you're living in those circumstances, the longer you do so (and the more you sit around discussing it) the more you'll talk yourself into believing that you have to live with it.
You have to be responsible for yourself, but you don't have to be responsible for others. Don't fall into the whole "shared humanity" trap-make the choice to move yourself above the rest of the human herd while they sit around in a circle and whine about their circumstances.
