>How do you not hate others for being alive (figuratively speaking), active, well?

That is called envy. How do you avoid it? It's a big question.


>How do you not hate yourself for failing to live up to your standards?

I care less about my standards now than I did once. Maybe by learning acceptance?


>How do you not blame yourself for everything that's been lost? How do you learn to forgive yourself?

There are a lot of words that start with 'for' that are interesting words....forbearance, forgiveness. By learning some sympathy for the situation you are in, rather than the ways in which you fall short? This is what the Christian Communion service emphasises.


>How do you maintain your dignity without falling into either isolation and bitterness or dependency on others?

I think I understand the dependency you mean, but we are all somewhat dependent. Maybe youth is associated with a big gap between aspiration and reality? Find steps you can (enjoyably?) take, rather than concentrating on those steps that are beyond you.
