People are self-absorbed
People tend to be too concerned about themselves to give you much attention. They tend to be lonely and more emotional than they are showing; apply this to how you view the world.
This perspective could help you be more proactive and independent.
Be realistic: if you place your individual happiness in the hands of another person, you ignore all of the above and do so at your own peril.

Don't assume people are mean

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
