Yeah, I do see your points. Read through the article when you have a chance. Lots of good information there and you have to be careful not to let anger consume you or turn you into a person who hates certain groups of people because they have ostracized you. It's common to do so and you need to fight against it. I really think counseling is just a good idea going forward for you and I also agree with an above poster that it will change and get easier the older you get. You will become more accustomed to yourself which will increase your overall value of yourself. You will learn more about your positive traits and find the people you do fit in with and start paying more attention to the people who are kind, than to the people who are jerks.
