Part of my plan with trying to overcome my depression is not to isolate, which means allowing more people in my life. One person I've befriended over the past few month seems nice, but she seems to work in either intentional or thoughtlessly cruel comments. I'm having problems on the employment and money front. She shared with me that other people she has told about me but don't know me (guess she has been talking about me?) all think I should be able to get a well paying job easily with my qualifications and education and I'm probably just too picky. I don't know why she said this and it really hurt me. I'm actually doing better than many people I graduated with on the job front. Many of taken waitressing jobs or have moved in with their parents. I have a friend who I graduated with who can't even bear to job search in our field because it is so demoralizing.

I don't know why the comment stung but when I said that I think the people she has been talking to don't know me or the situation accurately she said, "Oh, is your situation so unique?"
I try to brush things off buy this is staying with me. How can I let this go?
