Maudlin

Learnt a new word today.

Maudlin - excessively sentimental; self-pitying (@ Wikipedia)

Example taken from Wiki:

On the rebound one passes into tears and pathos. Maudlin tears. I almost prefer the moments of agony. These are at least clean and honest. But the bath of self-pity, the wallow, the loathsome sticky-sweet pleasure of indulging it — that disgusts me.
CS Lewis, A Grief Observed, 1961

Most interesting.
