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

Lots of good advice already in this thread already. I'd like to offer some more.

But when I hit send, the bulk of my post went "Poof" into the ether and not onto the page. I spent at least 30 min comosing it, so it will take a bit longer to recreate it. Sorry.
