Why do I feel more depressed and angry the more people I let around me? Is it just because I'm trusting bad people?

If you get depressed with certain people around you then you are choosing the wrong people. You need people who will uplift you, not drag you down. Those people who turn your stomach are best dumped alongside the road with the vomit. You deserve better.

Feeling more depressed and angry the more people you're around could be due to several factors, including unhealthy relationships, unmet needs, feeling overwhelmed, or not prioritizing self-care. It's not necessarily just about "bad people," but also about the dynamics and your own well-being. Reflecting on your relationships and seeking professional help are good steps.

Obviously there is a contradiction between our social nature and what we would like about the individuals around us. On one hand we need to live in a society, but on the other the behaviour of most people upsets us. Perfection is not of this world ;0)

Sounds like social burnout. I get it often and have to spend time isolating from people to recover.

Your instincts are not wrong. This is just my opinion but... all you "need" is a small group of people you can trust and depend on. People you've vetted and trust. There are a LOT of disposable people out there.

It would seem to be. Normally if you have more people in your life you would either be energized (extrovert) or tired (introvert). Depression and anger would suggest you have someone (or possibly several someones) that is toxic.

You should change the type of people that you allow into your friend circle

Yesss. Trust your body. It will make u uncomfortable around bad people

Maybe having more people around you creates social pressure? (Nothing to do with trust.)

I think you need a new circle of friends.

Because people suck
