My opinion

"Normal" is as relative a term as can be found. What may be "normal" for one could be perceived as anything but by somebody else.

What matters is that YOU have people in your life that you consider to be that and that works for you which is awesome! People - "real" (rather than "virtual" people connections) in your life that are supportive and caring people that you can turn to!!

Only wondering...if these people have been in your life.....why have you been posting on PC to "vent and complain" (your words).

Just curious.

No one's rejecting you, they just aren't putting up with being verbally abused. That's what they're rejecting.

I've also seen a lot of support in this thread, but it seems that isn't wanted. If you want people to commiserate with you, let them know that. Otherwise, they will contradict negativity because that's the healthy--functional--thing to do and taking the OP at face value. What is dysfunctional is coming on here and expecting people to feed your depression, then being mean to them and calling them sick when they don't. That is very hurtful. And, as I said before, no one wants to be around someone that hurts them.

As I get the feeling that this response is exactly what you were fishing for, I'll make this my last reply. I sincerely hope for the best for you. Be well.

Sorry, folks, this thread has gotten argumentative and unsupportive. I'm closing it while the team discusses what needs to be done with it.
