I hate my life and everyone in it. What do?

You can change your life, slowly. Cut out useless and manipulative people. Stop saying "Yes" to every favor. Do something for yourself once a day, even if it's only for five minutes. Pick up an old beloved hobby that you lost time for. Go outside and sit under a tree with a good book. Take a walk around the block. (Exercise really does help.) If all else fails, start a gratitude list. Right now, what are three things that you are grateful for? For example: I woke up in a bed in a safe place. I have a dog who loves me and I love her. I have an air conditioning unit. Tomorrow, I'll add three more things to the list. Having a positive outlook can be difficult. It takes hard work, internally and externally. But giving up is never the answer. If you ever want to vent, I promise to just listen, and not offer solutions. Above all else, cut yourself some slack. Thank you for reading my useless and long winded post.
 
Sorry to double dip, but on further reflection, this helped me a lot: Every day, I do something helpful for someone else. Doing charity work gets me out of myself for a bit, and the other helpers I meet while doing it are generally uplifting and giving people. It's probably why I'm so invested in so many local things, because the food bank needs people to lift and organize, the local trail group needs brush cleared on a weekend, there's a trash collection along the State highway, a town a few hours away needs potable water after yet another natural or industrial disaster. Sometimes the Lions Club just needs someone to cook french fries for a town event. Becoming invested in the people around me made me like them better. But it could be as simple as putting someone's cart away at the grocery store, or holding open a door in the rain. I wish you all the luck in finding a happier situation.
