I'm just trying to figure it out

I really need some advice.

For a long time, I’ve felt judged and boxed into a certain category by two older peers from town, especially one of them who seems to genuinely dislike me. Their view seems to be that I have no hope, that I’m worthless to invest in or pay attention to, and that I should simply be ignored or kept away.

They’ve also made comments that I have no skills, talent, or abilities. What confuses me is that I’ve never actually asked them for help, yet somehow the conclusion seems to be that I’m not worth helping.

This judgment has stayed the same for a very long time, despite them not really knowing what I’m working toward because I keep my goals private.

They’ve also used the word “NPC” when talking about me. Yes I'm basically the NPC who's just there when the service is needed.. when the service is provided.. and I'm always just there.

I've been helping this boomer.. bringing him what he needs.. and giving him what he needs since he's also part of our community and small town.. I make money off it.. and he's a nice guy.. nobody else would help.. I'm also doing this to avoid conflict.. and to get by.
