It's not the end of the world, if your experiences this season is painful. Create your own environment. Create a world of your own where you would be happy. Deliberately brighten up, do not allow the negative happening of the surrounding affect you adversely. You create your environment by giving allowance for people’s flaws, like you know they will make mistakes because they are human. Now that you know people can be somewhat nasty why not be happy already, knowing they are only human.
