Pining alone; step out and meet people.
"Pitying oneself in a secluded chamber." Sad and alone, cut off from others. Love won't come knocking; step out, meet people, and let yourself be seen.
| Single | Go out more; love needs a chance to find you. |
|---|---|
| Dating | Share what troubles you instead of bearing it alone. |
| Married | Talk about hurts instead of keeping them inside. |
From Tang Xianzu's The Peony Pavilion, "The Interrupted Dream": "For you, lovely as a flower, while years flow like water... pitying yourself in a secluded chamber." Du Liniang, in the bloom of youth, is shut away and lonely.
