mope

To spend time feeling sorry for oneself, typically by remaining inactive and gloomy. / To behave in a listless or depressed manner over a specific cause or object.
Intransitive VerbTransitive Verb
past: mopedpp: mopeding: moping

This word carries a strong connotation of self-indulgence and passivity. It describes a specific type of sadness that is characterized by listlessness and a refusal to take action, often implying that the person is wallowing in their misery rather than dealing with the problem constructively.

In social contexts, "mope" is frequently used as a mild criticism. When someone tells another person to "stop moping," they are suggesting that the gloominess is unnecessary or excessive. It is more informal than "depressed" and focuses on the outward behavior of lethargy and sulking rather than a clinical psychological state.
