social anxiety

I ran into a former classmate today, and was reminded again of what kind of trash they think I am. He feels that people that are born into poverty are waste and have no right to live or enjoy their lives. This just one person, but all thru school there were others that treated me likewise. I avoid people as much as possible now and only have friends on the net. I don't feel bad...just very lonely and a little depressed, but it's better than risking more abuse by being seen in public. I live an quiet and isolated life these last years, happy that is will one day end. There has to be a life somewhere for me that is better than this...
