You have to remember, you're not alone, other people are struggling too.

I completely agree.

Also don't put everything on one card, have other things in life to give happiness. If one thing doesn't work, still have something else to take your mind off.

Take a break, recharge.

Guys , I don't really get you , no one really owe you anything, you feel rejected, the other feels drepessed, I think you are not functional to this society, people do not really care about you unless they consider you someone who is capabale to add value to their assets, life is competition, and the weaker get eaten by the strongest, live with that.

Are you talking about human society or about monkey society? A comment like that can make a person feel misunderstood or alienated. Life is what we make it to be, and what we choose it to be. Yes the world can be a hard place, but can also be a friendly and helpful place. All depends on our attitude, and attitude of people we meet along the way. Treat others the same way you'd like to be treated. We're all the same people but from a different life.

I am seeing your situation according to my personal experience, people do not like to be around a depressed or misunderstood person, they might listen to for few minutes, but that's all, we need to carry on, pay the mortage, and bascially survive, nobody will consider helping you unless they feel that the help given contributes to their success.

That's not how I've lived my life, and I've found some other kind people in the world too. There are good people in this world, not everyone is like what you say. If you've experienced so many people like that in your life, perhaps your environment is not good. I've travelled around the world a bit, lived in many places, I've seen there's a big difference in people's approach/attitude in many places in the world. If you're unhappy or see cold people in the position you are, you could consider changing your position. Either where you live or where you work - your job.

Ok, my personal experience is different. Some people are very invested in friendships, family etc. You might not now anyone willing to help out, and that's the real tragedy in this thread, IMO.

Getting depressed now and then is part of being human. If you think functioning in a society is prevented by this, you really need to broaden your horizon. The only thing dysfunctional here is the perspective you're describing.
