I can understand how it feels to be surrounded by people who don't think. They must have been traumatized in some way to have such "opinions". If there are mental people in this world I think it's those who do not want to think. Nowadays I stay away from people who I don't feel comfortable with. I believe depression etc are often created by a crappy environment, cos u are in conflict with the surroundings and have to fight against. It's important to be with people who understand and care and accept. But as someone said, there might be people in the table who don't have the courage to stand up and say. Be proud of urself u did. But the thing, hard for me to accept as well, is that u can't change people.
