What's the situation?
Ever messed up so badly that you just need to sit with your regret (or anger) and deal with it yourself? 🤔 That's where 'to stew in one's own juice' comes in! It’s used when someone has to face the unpleasant results of their own choices or is left alone to feel their negative emotions, often because they brought it upon themselves. 😬 It implies a bit of 'serves you right' but can also be used sympathetically.
