I would suggest you change your main motivation to helping or even just listening to other people. If you start to care about the world, the world will start to care about you. But what do I know? I've only got 50 years or so under my belt.

It's not that simple. Everyone gets their chance to be recognized and form their identity in their adolescence, but I didn't thanks to bullying and social isolation. So now that is my main focus. No, I don't care about helping anyone, especially when nobody cares about helping me. How can I be concerned with other people's happiness when I am miserable myself? Especially when these people are almost always happier than me.
