yeah people are extremely cruel nowadays.. I think it's kind of thanks to internet, in net everyone can hate others, especially because of looks, and don't even bother to say something just to friend or something, but has to spread hate all around... and like in online life ppl starts to be like this in real life too... eh anyway,
so have you ever tried to befriend with someone online and then meet in real life? I can tell from my own experience that people look different if you first become friends online, they don't judge you just by look, but in the way you are
And there's skype, penpal sites, so you can make fiends by this way for example
sadly lots of therapists act like they don't care at all... From one side they maybe shouldn't, after all befriending with own patient wouldn't be professional, but they should have some heart...
but, great that you cooked something *pat pat on the shoulder* for me cooking is big thing too and I think you should be appreciated for this
