** Bob is a high-profile celebrity who is currently in a turbulent state due to his brother's death. He desires to be left alone and grieve alongside his loved ones. Unfortunately for him, Bob is bombarded left and right by the media and other anonymous people giving him unwanted attention. He is forced to play the role of a NiceGuy appreciating their concern, while [[BeneathTheMask in fact]] he secretly resents those people for being nosy and obtrusive. Cue angst.

** Bob would be okay with getting pity from any other person on the planet, but Alice is his SitcomArchNemesis and she has exploited other moments he's been hurt to deliver further insults disguised as compassion, so Bob refuses to take a chance that ''this'' is the one time Alice will actually behave.

** Culture is a major factor that determines how people react to pity. Culture A values personal dignity and "saving face", so the people there generally reject any form of pity. By contrast, culture B values solidarity, so the people there generally frown upon rejecting pity, while encouraging the acceptance of sympathy.

** Bob suffered a CareerEndingInjury that left him in a wheelchair and his newfound limitations resulted in a severe inferiority complex; he correllates the people who give him pity with those who think DisabledMeansHelpless and who keep offering him UnwantedAssistance. As a result, Bob feels the need to prove he is more than a victim, with everyone who pities his situation being InnocentlyInsensitive who keep feeding Bob's feelings of inadequacy.
