I’m failing in nearly every part of my life despite working hard, I used to be successful and it fell apart and everyone in my life sucks. What gives?

People in my life especially aren’t supportive and in fact talk about me behind my back all the time about how I failed. Especially when I wasn’t working they ate that up. I used to be extremely successful in my career as an engineer and now I’m extremely depressed and unwell and people in my life love how much I’ve failed and celebrate my failures. I lost my job and basically had to start from scratch and start a business since the job market is so bad. I don’t know what to do but I’m stuck and feel like a failure. I literally have worked my ass off and still nowhere.

from now on, go silent. do not tell anyone your plans or what happened. they don't need to know. i think you shared too much. and when you then fail, it makes you feel worse about yourself because everyone knows every detail.

now that you won't be sharing things to anyone, build yourself back up quietly. it's the best way to come back successful, when no one sees it's coming.

You choose to have those people around you. Pick better friends.
