Draupadi can not tolerate the mental attitude of Yudhisthira. She tells Yudhisthira that it is not proper for her to advise him but her mental pains are provoking her to do so. She says, "O King! you have lost the kingdom obtained by your ancestors with their chivalry. Those who do not practice 'शठं प्रति शाठ्यं' $($Tit for tat$)$ have to face defeat. You follow the path of humanity, why do not you feel angry? People surrender to those whose anger never goes in vain. People are not scared of angerless person. If an angerless person becomes dear to people, they do not have any type of respect for him. The speech of Draupadi is full of sentiments.
