We'd be gone in no time. A good thing, perhaps.

Search some of my posts in the Haven. Great works of postmodern literature.

Read some posts and I've seen much worse, but that doesn't make your case a lesser one.
To me you are stuck in a hole called Self-Pity and you aren't getting out for some reason.

What do you need?

I spent a long time being depressed.
The one thing I found that could fight back depression was action. By taking action to do something about why I was depressed it started to go away. I started asking myself why about everything which lead to some pretty profound changes in myself.
Eventually I realized what a waste it was to wallow in the past, dwell on a fantasy world that would never exist, and to wish I was someone I'll never be. Instead I decided to accept and embrace the gifts I have while working on the communication issues I've never felt better.
When I stopped worrying about whether people liked me or not something interesting happened.. more people liked me.
Don't give up; things will get better!

I have started focusing on only the positives in my life, no matter how inconsequential. It isn't easy, but there are good things to be found.

Challenge: name 3 good things in your life. (even if it's as simple as the sunset was pretty tonight)

Nothing, nothing, and nothing.

A year of living in former Soviet Union would cure this outlook, once you come back to your country of origin. Sometimes we take what we have for granted.
