Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

I used to believe. In love, life......happiness. Almost everyone around me is selfish and hateful. I hate no one and try to love unconditionally. This is what I thought made a good person. But all these people around me are happy and carefree and I'm lonely and get used by friends, family, everyone. Do I stop being who I am and start using people? Is that the only way to be happy? Or is it me who is wrong, maybe a happy life is for those who go out and get it no matter who they hurt. I don't understand how to live anymore, I used to know exactly who I was and now I think I've just been a fool my whole life. Do you still believe in what you thought was right?

I concur with TrB22, stay true to who you are. If others around you abuse or take advantage of you, then it's time to find people to be around that share your values.

i believe in living your life being yourself, without intentionally hurting others, trying to help the best you can, letting loose and acting on impulse, laughing so hard you piss your pants, crying for a minute then letting that minute be gone, smiling just for the hell of it, and hugging and kissing everyone you can... believe in living each day like its your last... belive in love and peace and good sex... thats what i believe... every experience makes you a little stonger and a little wiser... every experience makes you grow a little older... but its life... eventually it'll all be gone. might as well live it up and make a good impression while we can

agree with TrB22

That doesn't sound like unconditional love, dear. It sounds like you are looking at the worst in everyone. All I can say is, keep being you, keep being kind, but don't let other take advantage of that. Love yourself and respect your boundaries. Nobody is perfect.

I believe that beliefs are transitory. Never get too caught up in them. Just when you think that you have things figured out, life happens.

I agree with pretty much everything that's been said, but I have a question as well. Are these people you choose to be around, or are they people you simply come into contact with on a regular basis, such as co-workers, classmates, or others? If they are people you are choosing to be around, I'd rethink your choice of friends and eliminate those who bring negativity and selfishness to your life.
