Live for you and for the realities yet to be known. Try for something different. Don't rely on those you find unreliable; instead rely on yourself and gain faith in yourself, and see if it doesn't change your outlook. Meet new people if the ones you are around aren't inspiring you.
It beats the alternative. It would be a shame not to have checked out other possibilities. Maybe what you've experienced thus far in life is only one one-hundredth of what is still out there for you.
Let your haters be your motivators. If they talk trash about you, why? Because they have nothing better to do, because they are small-minded. Be better than that and be proud.
Just a few ideas.

Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
