@rlyeh, I dealt with this issue almost exactly as you have written here. Leaning what makes me happy, what I want, not caring what others think about me or my life or what I'm doing with my life . . . so freeing. I don't get mad anymore or even care how people are just assholes most of the time. Just being in my own little world allows for others to flock to me and me to them who are in the same place that I am. The good people!
