Try to imagine they aren't you, with your unique skills, qualities, and mindset. Try remembering what it was like in the time between being ok, and pulling yourself out of it, and think of all the people who would have looked at you and the situation you were in, and dismissed it with a 'I have no sympathy'. Like I said earlier, it's easy to forget what it was like when you were in it. Think of the help you *did* get (anyone who says they had literally none is full of shit...) no matter how small it seemed at the time, and ask yourself if you've done the same for someone else today/this week/month/year who doesn't want a handout, but some direction/foot on the ladder.
^ not you personally, but in general. everyone isn't the same, and that's discounting those who are truly out to game the system and leech. Nobody 'chooses' to stay stuck, they just don't know what to do (again, not talking about true leechers)
