Do not allow other people's issues to determine your self worth or impact your self esteem. Love yourself. Period. If the people around you are making things worse take a break from them. Then find something to do. Something you enjoy. I do yoga, I take art courses, I play soft ball (I have to be the WORST player in the league - but it's embarrassingly fun). You make your life what it is. Join the Y? Join a drop in basketball league. Do something - you will meet people and develop other relationships.
Do talk to someone if you are depressed, and PLEASE don't smoke.
hugs
