After reading this, it appears as though you're a great person. I've faced failure and distress before, but this transition will soon lift and go away eventually. Failure is the key to success in life, and considering all the charitable and benevolent acts you have achieved, I'd be thrilled to tackle new challenges. Friends will always be teasing no matter what. If they do this ruthlessly and with contempt, the given title will prove itself misleading. Negative, cynical talk is horrible in every sense. Ignore it and eradicate it - you have hope, which is an extremely significant part of yourself which will encourage you to succeed with an enriching lifestyle.
