Downtrodden Aniston in a new Beverly Hills mansion

Nov 1, 2006, 13:30 GMT

Jennifer Aniston feels "downtrodden".

The actress, who played browbeaten characters in 'The Good Girl' and 'Friends With Money', believes she landed the roles because she can empathise with those emotions.

She revealed to Britain's OK! magazine: "What's the attraction of playing a downtrodden character? I think that's how I see myself. Quite honestly, its just part of me. I've come from there, I've had moments of insecurity, low self-esteem - all of that stuff."

The 37-year-old star, who was dumped by ex-husband Brad Pitt so he could date Angelina Jolie, says her own experiences have taught her not to have high expectations in life.

She explained: "There is something to not having such expectations, to not needing to have something. If it's not happening, you're so frustrated. If you can find happiness wherever you are, things come easier. It's like letting go."

This is how you give yourself an excuse not to succeed, not to fight, not to take responsibility - coz, things won't happen for you, coz inevitably, bad things will occur in your life. if you think like that, I guarantee you it will happen. Poor jennifer indeed. Success cannot just be skin deep, you have to believe it, and she doesn't.

Ming.
There are people in life that succeed in spite of adversity. Having the rug pulled out from under your feet on a regular basis makes you strive for security. Some people become wealthy/successful because they want to 'KNOW' that 'in spite' of what the world throws them, they 'WILL' be alright. This woman has had quite a bit thrown at her by people she trusted. Until your (husband, boyfriend/girlfriend, significant other, best friend, child) throws you a curve ball from hell........

I wonder when she will let it go eventually. She is saying the same thing for tow years now but she doesn’t seem to work on it. And NO I'm not feeling sorry for her for one bit. I'm not supposed to make a woman a 'hero' for getting divorced(that she filed by the way).She doesn’t have to be a working mom that struggles to raise her children. She is not homeless. She have her millions of dollars to keep her warm at night. She has a great responsibility of what happened in her life and she made mistakes to but she never admits such a thing. She things by putting the blame on her 'bad luck' will be a solution. It's always something else or someone else that is wrong but not her. She needs to have a better communication with her self. I'm so tired of this woman promoting her 'victimhood' by any chance she gets to gain sympathy. She is a great manipulator. I for once think that there are much better people out there to praise or feel sorry about. Children are dying every second. We should do something about it that pitting a multy millioner actress. And as my grandma used to say 'don't betray if you don't want to be betrayed.'

People forget she's human. Any other person who's husband/wife was cheating would have been devastated, but Aniston is not allowed?

Let her heal people and leave her alone.
