You will figure out who is worth your time and energy and let the rest go. I have this problem as well. I treat others as I would want to be treated... but much of the time I see little reciprocation. Many times others are not even aware they are being hurtful. It's not you (I had to learn this), their brain has it's own agenda. You will encounter others that share your values - they are worth the time. The others...if you have to be around them... learn to "shake it off"... know that is who they are and most likely will not change.
