    The people who call you names are not worth you time or energy.  I do understand how it feels and I know many folks here too can relate.

    Please don't let those experiences cause you to not try with friendships/relationships because there are genuine people out there (see below) who would be happy to make friends with you.  Unfortunately there are some unsavoury characters in life who will hurt others but I firmly believe that most people have good hearts. :-)
