mopey
Droopy and dejected
Mopey describes someone who is glum, listless, and feeling sorry for themselves.
A mopey person sits around looking dejected rather than doing anything about their situation: He's been mopey ever since she left.
The word carries a hint of impatience with the behavior—moping is passive and unproductive.
Also spelled mopy.
