I deal with lots of different groups of people in my job, my volunteering, and personal life. Your views of what society thinks are way off. Maybe you should stop hanging out with this group of people you hang out with. They sound very toxic. Society does not teach us that certain people are simply less than others. I was never taught that. If anything, what I have experienced in society is that many people are extremely empathetic and charitable and don't believe in judging others based on personal circumstance. Yes, we get judged on work performance, we get judged for crimes, and other things that are specifically going to be judged. But let me tell you, since I've been sick, I have gained 70lbs and my skin has gone to hell. Not once have I felt that a co-worker or friend has judged me for this. (A family member who is extremely toxic and whom I no longer talk to made a nasty comment, but I don't talk to them anymore.)
I don't think the problem is society. The problem is this very skewed view of society you have, and I think also the people you are hanging out with. You need new friends and a new social circle.
Good luck,
