Goddamn I feel you, bro. I learned recently that the world is filled with assholes. Nothing you say or do is going to make people treat you like a human being if they weren't going to to begin with.
This realization helped me internally to no longer hate myself, but I'm a bit stuck as to where to go from here. I guess I'll be chatting with my therapist about this sort of thing tomorrow.
What's your scenario exactly?
While it is true the world is full of assholes it is full of good people too. I do my very best to not to place myself in the vicinity of the latter. I'm sure if we both thought about it we've been assholes too at some point in our journeys. Forgive me if I've misstepped. I will say from my own point of reference I have been both an asshole and a good person. I devout each day to being a better person although I'm certain I will always be an asshole in the eyes of someone. My scenario is long and complicated and best left to discussion between myself and my therapist. I do appreciate your reaching out however and I wish you the very best of life's journey.

I’m sorry you’re having a difficult time. Set boundaries with yourself and others. Easier said than done of course, but that is the only way to sanity. There will be consequences regardless. Act from the big picture/long term consequences.
