* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', Kyo himself invokes the trope [[spoiler: when Tohru sees his true form for the first time, lashing out at her in fear of rejection]].
** The trope is lampshaded by Kagura twice: when she [[spoiler: asks Tohru not to go out with Kyo purely because she pities him]], and when she [[spoiler: refuses her mom's sympathy after Kyo rejects her affections, referring to herself as a "very selfish girl".]]

** In the past, the woman who ended up marrying Kazuma's grandfather (the previous Cat) only did so because she pitied him. It seems that Kagura, Kazuma, and Kyo himself are afraid that Tohru only gets close with Kyo because she also pities him.

* Ruriko of ''Manga/IMarriedMyFemaleFriend'' occasionally falls into this.
** In an early chapter, she learns that Kurumi, who is writing about her and Ruriko's marriage- the two got together as part of an agreement, due to neither having a significant other five years after coming of age- is getting negative comments online, some of which express pity for Ruriko for being dragged into it. After Ruriko and Kuroda's mutual friend Kuroda expresses how it make her feel bad hearing strangers talk about pitying Ruriko, Ruriko politely says, "I'm the one who gets to decide whether I deserve pity or not."
** A somewhat more serious example come up several chapters later, when Kurumi is considering purchasing a combined washer-dryer. Ruriko had recently been hospitalized with appendicitis, and while she hadn't needed surgery, she still had to pay for the hospital stay. When Kurumi proposes buying the washer-dryer, Ruriko is initially opposed to it on the basis that Kurumi would have to pay for it herself and as friends, they shouldn't owe each other anything. This results in a brief spat between them, as Kurumi concludes that Ruriko had expected Kurumi, who seemed less invested in their relationship, to leave, but this is eventually resolved by them holding off on buying the washer-dryer until Ruriko gets her bonus and is able to pay her half.

* Don't treat [[AcePilot Ayase Shinomiya]] from ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'' differently just because she happens to be wheelchair-bound. She will surely [[JustForPun kick your ass]] if you do.

* ''Manga/GoodNightWorld'': Both Taichiro and Kojiro, a dysfunctional father and son pair are shown to not like feeling pitied, which ironically causes their attempts to be nice to each other to backfire. Taichiro is also shown to default to skepticism if anyone else tries to be nice to him, with all those from whom he accepts kind gestures explicitly being people he has come to trust over time.

** Rock notably takes this to heart later on when he finally gets fed up with Revy’s attitude and treatment towards him, actually accusing Revy herself of [[Hypocrite wallowing in self-pity,]] after she told him ''not'' to think like a hypocrite and pity her. This moment actually causes Revy to begin developing genuine respect for Rock.

* “Manga/BlackLagoon”: Revy has a moment of this with Rock while they’re collecting a famous painting from a sunken Nazi submarine. Rock takes notice of Revy collecting the various medals and material still there, and when he asks what she’d do with them, Revy says she intends to sell them. When Rock objects, Revy decides to give Rock a little advice, relating her DarkAndTroubledPast to him. When Rock says he’s sorry for hearing it, Revy tells him “Fuck you.” She says that if she wanted pity from Rock, she’d have made up a much more “colorful” story to tell him, the point of her story is being that, since she’s living in [[WretchedHive Roanapur]], Revy’s got no use for pity or morals.
