It might mean you need to find new friends.

You are valued here on DU. I like you.

You have value. Please believe it. I wish I had the words to make you believe it is so. You have just as much right to be here as anyone else and you are just as important anyone else.

It means cruel people get a dopamine rush from hurting someone who is kind and good.

Also, if you're in a spiral of depression, it can skew your perceptions. The hopelessness is a symptom of an illness, not who you are and not your permanent reality.

Please remember: you might feel sometimes as if the whole world is laughing at you, but there are many here who cherish you.
