Sorry to hear that, Fuzzy.

Whether you're actually needy or not, it doesn't matter. Spend time doing the things you enjoy doing and being around the people you enjoy being around. The haters can think whatever they want, but this is YOUR life that YOU are meant to enjoy. Don't let them ruin it for you because they have their panties in a knot.

Also, not everybody will "appreciate" you, and that's okay. No one is universally liked because some people find stupid, nitpicky reasons to hate someone. Sometimes it's friends, sometimes it's family. (And yes, it's B.S.) If someone can't treat you with the same respect you give them, then they're not worth your time. Don't let their sour behavior eat you up inside because that's what they WANT to see. Don't give them what they want. If you have to cut them off, then so be it. Your mental wellbeing is more important than trying to rectify a toxic relationship.

Just because things don't work out for you, it doesn't mean that you've failed or that it's your fault. I've had friendships that didn't work out, and it wasn't because *I* failed. It was because they were sour, selfish, greedy people to begin with and I didn't realize it until their true colors showed. But even though I didn't realize it, I didn't fail at the friendship. I did my part by being respectful and kind, and they didn't do theirs. So the only one who "failed" was them. And if they don't like me, then go right ahead. "You live your life, I live mine."
