Acceptance is one of the major ways I moved forward. You're absolutely right about how toxic an environment can be and the coping mechanisms some have. My coping mechanism was to bottle things up but as i grew i discovered that i can still keep the door shut but leave the window open because i don't like talking about me or what it is I'm going through unless it is absolutely necessary. I have always been an introvert even when it doesn't seem like it. And i have just two real friends... (No one believes this though)... My mom and cousin.

People deal differently and as for me, I eventually became better with time, I found out that my environment determined if I should bottle it up or actually talk about it and with time, I found people who I should talk avoid it with. My environment played a key role and like you too, I had and still have few friends.
