That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. ~ The Big Book and A Study Guide of the 12 Steps (Kindle Locations 1505-1506).
MacKay, et al in When Anger Hurtsmake the point that in a disagreement
each person is not trying to flaunt the needs
of the other but rather yo get his or her needs met.
The solution is a give and take, so multiple
needs are addressed. That's what happens, working the Steps.
We realize our own needs fired our resentments
and find ways to accept our fellows as equals.
It is then self-pity becomes unnecessary
and we begin to perceive the whole picture and
see needs in others, What a promise when
we accept it and perceive the joy it creates!
