You simply disregard any line of reasoning that doesn't show you how to get what you want out of people.
You will continue to lose jobs and have little luck making friends. People will want friendship with you only if they believe you care about them. You talk like a person who only cares about the effect things will have on you. That can lead to great loneliness in years to come. When it happens, you won't even realize how you brought it on yourself.

I think Rose has good insight into your situation. The fact that we have pointed out the ways in which you are hurting other people— and your only response is to counter by saying how you feel victimized— demonstrates a lack of empathy. Maybe talking with your counselor about empathy might be helpful. Are you able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes or care about how others feel? Or, if not, is it something you might want to learn or explore?
