I find that occupying my time with my interests really helps. If I spent my time comparing myself to others, I'd probably fall into despair because, realistically, I don't have many things that I want and that others have. Do you have any hobbies to immerse yourself into?

Also, I think it is important to realize that you CAN ask people for help, and you CAN share your feelings with them. It just needs to be done in a way that respects the other person's comfort levels, too.

It is also important not to jump to conclusions. Guessing other people's motives or trying to read another person's mind usually doesn't turn out well. It's common, for instance, for someone to feel lonely or that they're not getting enough attention. Some people though, instead of saying directly what they feel, will say to the people in their lives "Why don't you love me? Why do you hate me?" or something to that effect.

This is not directly communicating. It's translating feelings into someone else's intentions. This behaviour is very unfair to the other person and can cause problems in the relationship if done frequently enough.
