The Pitied

''The Pitied, everyone's favorite emotional punching bag! You can do anything you want to him and he doesn't fight back!''

The guy who can't catch a break. Every day of his life is an unbroken streak of misery, failure, and humiliation. But even though his life is an unending torture, he's not (visibly) depressed. Everyone around the Pitied treats him like a pile of dirt, he's always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and there is no escape in sight. The worst part of it all? He doesn't deserve it in the slightest. Whenever the Pitied is on the brink of finding even the slightest bit of joy, that moment of happiness is yanked away from him and he's left to once again wallow in horribleness, knowing that this is just how his life is and it will never change.

Contrast from the Sad Sack. Whereas the Pitied doesn't call attention to his sadness and pain, the Sad Sack's role job is (at times) to do just that. They spit out Sob Stories faster than a machine gun does bullets with every story being sobbier than the last. The Sad Sack's existence, at this point, has boiled down to a giant cry for attention and plead for pity from others, becoming no more than a drama on two feet.
